Oh, goodie! Some more wonderful compound cut ornaments from Diana Thompson appeared in the last issue of that "other" mag, so I've been taking a break from the birdhouses. Love them! These are made from maple, aspen, oak and walnut, the halos are all yellowheart and the wings are various woods including eastern cedar, holly and a mystery reddish wood. Most are dipped in Danish oil, but a few are done with water-based verathane to keep the aspen whiter, and it sure does keep it whiter. Most darker woods are much more colourful if oil is used, but yellowheart seems to look equally bright with either finish.
Thank you, Diana! These are great and I expect will be good sellers.
