Gong of the Ornament Pattern

[baggetta]

Well this gong won't ring out and it is decorated to be a table ornament.  I cut mine from a couple of different woods.  The frame was cut from alder and stained lightly.  The gong itself is cut from spalted maple.  The base if plain ol' pine painted a deep red.  I also put a backer on the gong and painted it the same color as the base, giving the whole project the feel of the ancient past.  I used some of that copper wire that is wrapped around those scroll saw blades when you buy a pack.  Makes a nice invisible hanger.   Makes a nice decoration for those into art of the orient.  Download
