More name ornaments

I have been busy cutting more name ornaments.  I have had quiet a few orders and this has been keeping me relatively busy.
Last Saturday was a pretty good day for me.  My son in law came over and we sat in my shop shoulder to shoulder cutting name ornaments out.  He had some friends and family he wanted cut out so I sat him at my second saw and he got busy.  He did very good for just getting started.  I wish he lived closer so he could come and play more often.
   In the next week or so we will start working on Christmas presents for the family.  We decided on what we are going to do, now we just have to get busy and start the projects.  I believe I will be planing down some wood this week to get it started.
   These ornaments here are cut out of 1/4 inch brown maple and the ornaments are approx 4 inches in diameter.  I cut them out and my wife sands them, then I put four coats of lacquer on them and finish with a brown paper bag buff.
