If you are a carver, eventually you get around to creating some holiday gifts for family and friends. I have actually lost track of what Christmas ornaments I have carved over the last 20 plus years, and in addition, who I have given them to. I guess I should have kept better records.

So what you see here are some ornaments we could find pictures of, or that we hang on our tree each year. Some are from patterns. Some are variations on a theme and some are just made up as I was going along.

Simple stuff, scrap bass wood mostly, generally painted with water base acrylics.
