While we are waiting for the voting period for the ornament challenge, I made another ornament from scrap.
But,Please vote for your five(5) favorites at www.OrnamentChallenge.com by 10 December (Sunday Night).

The skirt is dyed birch lamination left over from a failed project. But, it was too pretty to throw away. So, I have added a walnut disk to complete the dancer’s skirt and a maple spindle for her body.

The torso axis is shifted 1/8 inch in opposite directions. The feet axis is shifted 1/8 inch in opposite directions and 90 degrees from the torso axis shift.

All is finished with shellac.

The grippers were 3D printed in PLA. But, also easily turned on a lathe.

Some newer viewers may wonder why I insist on wearing a face shield for safety. Please check out this video:
