different style ornament
john lucas
I've started playing with this style ornament. Sort of a rolled and tied up paper shape with some wire brushing. I think I'll like it better with the natural wood but maybe bleached.
The first one I did I hollowed but this one is simply drilled in steps to make it easier for new turners to make. On the next one I'll do more taper toward the middle, wire brush, and then bleach and see what happens. May also cut the ends at an angle.

Well John, I can say it is definitely different. Not sure where you going with it, but that center tube is pretty neat.

I agree. Its beautiful. OTOH, to me it looks like it should be horizontal. Looks like the filling might drain out. But, you don't want it to look like a Bow Tie.

Could be an Italian ornament, looks like a cannoli.
