Sea Glass Ornament

[Charlie E]

I've started making some faux sea glass with my rock tumbler, so I also made some fake drift wood with my scroll saw and sanders to make this cool Christmas Ornament. Very fun new offshoot of the hobby.

Sweet!  What a clever idea.  I bet that looks good with the lights on the tree. It would be great if you could go to the ocean and get some of the real stuff.  I bet your grandkids would love to look for pieces for you.

We went to the beach, Cape San Blas, Florida, for the week of Thanksgiving. This was our fourth trip there as a family and it's like a little time in Heaven. My grandkids learned that I loved Kitten Paw shells. Between what I picked up and what they all gave me I wound up with over 100.  I've never found a piece of real sea glass.

pretty funny picture of you and your family....I love those shells I do not seem to remember seeing any of those around on our coasts...I am surprised you do not have any sea glass.  It is all over the place off the coast of Washington and Oregon.  It is fun to find the blue and green ones.  Most seem to be brown.

I had lake front property in the Upper and would find, driftwood, sea glass and lots of tiny shells.  Lake Michigan was a 20 minute drive and found a ton of awesome driftwood. Even have a box of Petoskey stones my nephew found.
