I have to postpone SWAT inspired projects in favor of preparation for this year’s Christmas Ornament Challenge. However, this project draws inspiration from SWAT and from last year’s challenge.

The ornament uses laminated dyed birch from FrogBlanks.com plus just a bit of maple for the center and hazelnut for the finial.

The ornament is 3×6 finished with shellac.

In this year’s Christmas Ornament Challenge, our sponsors will be providing discounts and coupons for everyone who enters their ornament. This is in addition to a larger number of grand prizes. I’m still working to line up additional vendor sponsors.

Prepare now for the November submission time. Check www.OrnamentChallenge.com for more details and to submit your ornament (in November)

Enjoy.
