Title: 3D Ornaments from Stev
Post by: don in brooklin on on November 19, 2015, 06:39:26 am

I am busy cutting the new ornaments from Steve in Baltic Birch.

I usually paint these ornaments as I don't like the edge.

Has anyone done this years ornaments and finished yet.

This a sample from a couple of years ago.

Thanks

Don

Hi Clem

Are you doing the ones stacked 3 high or just the name ones.

I have the personalized that are 3 layers thick.  I am not sure how to paint each layer.

Please post picture when done.

Thanks

Don

I am not finished cutting yet.  I am doing 12.  I ordered the layered ornaments last year but did not cut.  I ordered 6 more this year and have changed the names for the whole family. (Stack cut 5 at a time,  I then split the name ones apart and do one at a time)

I had a void in the BB on the very first name and it had a break in the edge.  I tried to fix but did not like it so I am cutting another and using that to test.

I have sprayed with Gold Glitter and the boss wants them all sprayed.  I will have to do for each layer before assembly.

I am glad I started early as it has been and will be a fair amount of work.

Will post a picture when done.

PS:  Retired and love doing these.  We use as place settings at Christmas dinner.

I cut last year's style with baltic birch.  For the finish, I covered in mineral oil, then sprayed clear Varathan.  I don't mind the look of the edges on the baltic birch.  This is one of ten. Stack cut the back and middle layers.
(hope the link works)
