Early Christmas Start

[Jim McDonald]

Got a bit of a jump on Christmas ornaments for the family this year.

Did 36 of these in 1/8" alder and walnut. Beautiful stock from Ocooch and Watco gloss to finish--with a dot of Unicorn Spit for Rudolph. 

Stack cut in groups of four with #2 and #3 MGT Pegas blades I picked up from @Denny Knappen on my way through Tennessee this spring.

Comments and critique always welcome.

(No idea where the yellowish cast on photo came from)

Very nice, never too early, where did the pattern come from, RJ

Not real sure. It's been in the cut pile for better than a year. I prototyped it in BB from the actual pattern, then enlarged it 33% to make it close to 4 inches.

Mighty fine, Jim.

Very nice.
