Woodturning Herringbone Ornaments From Scrap

Herringbone Ornament Scrap

For the convenience of some people, this video is also posted on YouTube and FaceBook.

After finishing last week’s herringbone ornament, I had left over wood cut off from the prime wood that I used.

I could not let it go to waste. I had options on what to do with the scrap. The fireplace was not considered very long. No doubt there are many other alternatives than what I used.

In the end, I glued up the scrap with a little padauk in between. Then went on to turn the ornament.

I will add these ornaments to the Christmas Ornament Challenge. Please share your favorite ornaments by November 30.See www.OrnamentChallenge.com

Enjoy!

    Alan,

    You mentioned the buffing extension came from “Holdfast”. Do you have a link to it? It looks nearly identical to my buffing stem from Don Pencil (that I’ve had for maybe 15 years). I’m setting up a second shop and need a new buffing system, and I want to stick with what I know and like, which is the Don Pencil setup. Thanks, and keep up the great work!
