Title: First Christmas Ornaments
Post by: troy_curtis on July 06, 2013, 11:38:11 pm: Earlier today I took a break from my studies and taped 5 BB boards together. I set up 5 Ornament Patterns to be cut. This is my first one cut out. I will carefully sand the delicate wood tomorrow or the next day. I might paint these, but probably will just let them remain the natural color. If I don't paint them I will just use some oil to preserve them.

Only got 4 of the 5, the bottom most board had a snap on the star when I was cutting it. Oh well, I figure it cost 27 cents each to make 5. So still a good job for 34 cents each for 4.

It was about 105 with 38 percent humidity when I went out to do these. I have been working on my state licence exam studies for selling Life Insurance. I needed a big mental break. So I put up with the heat to make these. Took about 30 to 40 minutes.
