More decorations

[Dalboy]

Made some more decorations, a couple of candles and a bell still have a bell to make. Do you think the candle sticks will pass for the competition :lol: :lol: :lol:

Nice work Derek.
The candlesticks look particularly good.

What does puzzles me is how birdhouses became 'festive' fare for woodturners ?
Dale Nish's book (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Woodturning-Chr ... 1565237269) on festive turning seems to only contain birdhouse variations.

Glad you like them.

Even though they can be used for decoration all year round I put them in that heading as their size makes them idea for that application

I love the acorn bird boxes - may have to steal that idea and try a couple
As time is getting short I did toy with the idea of doing doll's-house candle sticks and seeing if I could get away with it!

Thank goodness we only have a miniature tree these days, "have not got any fine grained wood for such frivolous things to suitable scale".

And I'm sticking to that, do you hear!!

Would look better with some little birdies on the access perch. :twisted:
