I work with a German lady and got her name in this year's gift exchange for our section. I saw a photo/pattern for an old German ornament and thought she might like my rendition of it. I cut the ornament out of 1/4 baltic birch, the base is scrap oak, I used 4 dowl pins, three wheel axels. I stained the ornament, pins and axels with golden pecan. I used polyeurathane on the base. I used the poly in three coats on the ornament. I added the plexiglass behind the ornament for strength and protection for the finer cuts. The candle is wax with battery powered flame that also has a 4 hour timer included. I think she will really like it.

That is a nice piece of work. You did a fine job & a good idea too. That's what makes a special ornament for the Holiday's. You are talented indeed. Thanks for showing us.PERKComment

Thanks for everyone's comments. I am really enjoying scrolling. Wish I had gotten started a long time ago. At 65 my hearing is shot, I am almost blind in my right eye but left is still good. Sometimes it's a strain making the cuts but I like it too much to give it up. As I am retiring in February the wife said I had to find a hobby, well I think I have found it! Also, it's much safer than chasing girls!Comment

Nicely done! She will surely enjoy and appreciate it. Congrats on your upcoming retirement, think of all the time you'll have for your new hobby!Don
