This project is a fun one. Essentially, a finial can be used either upright – flame up – or flame down. For this ornament, this walnut is hollowed and carved.

Could it be longer. Probably. However, I would not recommend more rotations since that would result is much more fragile short grain. I would stretch it to preserve long grain.

Either way. a fun ornament.

Walnut 1″ diameter by 3″ long finished with shellac with 22 gauge twisted wire hanger.

The Ornament Challenge will begin accepting entries November 1st.

Enjoy.
