Finger Lakes Woodturners

The joining material is rounded and thickness controlled

This replaces the kerf for a good grain match

Then it is hollowed to the wall of the ornament

The two halves glued and final outside forming is done

Roughing of the finial is next

Further refining of the finial

And the finishing touches

The finished lower half

Roughing the top section of the ornament

Sharp corners for the hanger area

More refinement

Sketch of planned shape

The completed shape ready for finishing

Applying the finish

A completed ornament

Parting off the finished piece

The hanger eye and chain installed

The finished ornament
