Holiday stuff

[Allen levine]

I'll post everything I'm making for Xmas season in this thread

each one so far are Steve good downloads 

I need the practice 

first the 4o inch Santa sleigh and reindeer around 75 pieces total got all pieces cut and started assembly 

made some Jewish star ornaments will make more 

made this small sign thinking of my little monster grandson

heres Where I'm at

oh the dear Santa was a little girl in dress so I just cut it straight and decided to peek t it red because it was poplar 

base is sapele

santa sleigh is sapele reindeer Spanish cedar and Santa is poplar

ornaments are sapele scraps 

Santa sleigh and reindeer got a coat of oil today to enrich the wood colors

Allen, you have been busy, like them all, espically the santa sled, RJ

[Allen levine]

With my wife's help got some chain and bells on the reindeer

in order to preserve my marriage we will tackle the main line or reins another day

My hands can't do it not even with tweezers

We were supposed to go to Morgantown pa this morning after our doc visits but my wife's friend passed yesterday and the wake and funeral is tomorrow and Thursday so I'm home and I've been in the shop most of the day lately with this great weather 

I'm hoping by weeks end we will hook the rest of the lines give the reins to Santa and glue it all on a platform and put it away till the season

All of them look very well done.

I have a lot of 6/4 maple that I don't think I'll be using for scroll work and I don't make boards anymore nor any furniture projects coming up so I shaved it down for a base

all finished

sorry about the poor photos but it's clear enough to see 

gold chain with all attachments were 6 bucks and I have enough gold chain for 2 lifetimes 

my wife did all the chain work

reins lines bridals what ever they are called she did a good job but wasn't happy she had to leave her sewing machine

now figuring out where it's going to be stored until my daughter figures it out for her house storage 

all those stick figures sitting on the mirror might be gone after next Saturday as we are hosting a lot of cousins aunts uncles her for the day and I know they are all going to take one or two home

the two with babies are being mailed after babies are born soon

rudolphs red nose is temporary until I get a shiny red ball or find one buried somewhere in a drawer

I also have a lot of cherry so I'm going to try to slice up some for a couple of door toppers for Xmas 

I need two for the cousins coming next weekend and then I'm done with Xmas stuff 

I've made over 300 bandsaw reindeer and wooden Xmas trees with ornaments to give away each year but this year only if I'm asked 

I'm  not using any more wood for those giveaways 

[preprius]

all those antlers are good for:

napkin holders.

stocking holders

Christmas card display rack.

Ring display

ornament rack

Made 2 door toppers today

before seeing them on Steve goods site I never knew there a thing called a door topper

one needs a bit more lacquer the other needs some light sanding and then glue up and lacquer 

sapele and cherry it's what I have a lot of

bad day in shop broke 5 blades and bent a few not sure why I struggled guess it's just one of those day

less then 6 hours to slice up 5/4 cherry and 5/4 sapele and cut and sand/assemble both or at least as far as I got 

in have to make a doggie layered planter I've been commissioned pretty funny 

I don't have a plan for the golden doodle whatever I'll just wing it as I've made so many layered characters and all we're fine

inckuding bluey blue farm animals and rubble 

if you don't have little kids around you you won't know them 

again sorry bout the poor pics

Allen, excellent work on all of them, RJ

[AUTOMILE]
