Elephant Christmas Tree Ornaments

[BadBob]

This doesn't look like much, but considering that I made 326 elephant ornaments, I think that deserves a little brag. These are cut from 1/2-inch thick African padauk I purchased from Ocooch hardwoods. Now I have orange sawdust all over my shop. Believe it or not, elephant ornaments are a thing.

If I had to make over 300 of those ornaments I would buy a laser cutter and program it to make them and, while thay are being cut, I would go make something more enjoyable on my scroll saw.   If you are making that many on the SS to sell, to me that is no longer a hobby, it is to more like  sweat shop labor. Sorry if you take ofence.

Frank, when I am in the zone I can reduce the universe down to a 5" circle and let my CDO have full access.

They were sold before the first piece was cut. Cutting them was not a chore. Sanding was the hard part.

You did a terrific job.  326 x $ is nothing to be sneezed at, lots of blades and wood can be making their way into you workshop and time soon.
