John,

You should install hooks on your mirrors they would look nice hanging on a tree or a wall.

I have toyed with either putting holes in the handles or possibly a notch to they could be hung. I've had that request once or twice.

Turning a cove to attach a leather or other loop might be good. I did that once for hanging something with leather (dang, brain failure, can't remember what it was)

The mirrors would be way too big to hang on most Christmas trees, but I still think tiny (1"?) mirrors would make great ornaments!

I like the little cross ornaments. Didn't you make an inside out wooden cross once, or was that someone else? That, with a little cross hanging from the chain would be cool. Or what about a little cross hanging inside an ornament?

Your color treatments are always so creative. I like what I can see of the sphere in the middle - is that airbrushed or maybe the iridescent paint? If you brought that to the club meeting I must have missed it.

That's Jo Sanjo irridescent paints and Flo Extender mixed in to make the stuff run It's a lot of fun to play with.

John, beautiful ornaments and mirrors! Are the ornaments hollow/

Re: November turnings-so far

All of the ones with chains aren't. Well no that's not true. The black one with gold and silver is hollow. I designed these to be very fast to make so I try to use fairly light woods and don't hollow them.

Have to give my usual "Outstanding"!

The ornaments are wonderful and creative-you keep coming up with new variations.

The mirrors are your usual excellent work-especially the routed and filled grooved one. I also like the bark on the second one.

I may "borrow" some of your ideas if you don't mind.
