    Curt - your ornaments are outstanding - as always! You have really gotten the icicle portions nicely defined! As much as I like the ornaments - the natural edge bell grabs my attention! It seems to have a real flow to the form - creates a feeling of motion!

    Very nice work on everything! Glad to see you getting time on the lathe!

    Good job.

    They all look good, and the natural edge bell is a cool idea.

    Add one more voice to the choir!

    Curt,

    Those are very nice. I always love seeing your segmented Christmas ornaments. One of these days, soon, I'm going to have to try turning one.

    Would you mind sharing with us the approximate dimensions?

    Richard, gambel oak is just the scub oak that grows here in Utah. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quercus_gambelii

    David, they're all approximately 6+" long and 2" diameter. Here's a pic of one in my hand for perspective.
