Found this funny looking piece of scrap wood, guess I’ll turn it into a Christmas ornament! [emoji12]

Really nice work. The second photo gave it size perspective.  I had pictured a much larger piece looking at the first photo.

Thanks. Yeah, the circle is about 3.25” across. My kids (and I) have been making ornaments for several years now- they give them to teachers, friends, grandparents, coaches, bus drivers, etc. I plan to carry on the tradition as long as they’re willing to spend the time in the shop with me.  We just started our “production” over the weekend and last night I had the idea to make a kettle version.

Here’s a picture of (most) the ornaments they made in 2017.


Edit- Looking at that picture, that big chunk of wood behind my sons head, leaning against the garage door, is the same chunk of wood the kettle on the ornament above came from. I built a mantle clock from that piece, and the piece used for the kettle was one of the scraps!

That's sweet! Any chance you'd consider making some more... I definitely would be in for one and I'm sure I'm not alone.

You guys convinced me, a few more mini weber grill ornaments on the way.  Curly maple and walnut. I’ll only have 8 (for now), so if you’re seriously interested in one, let me know!

Hey, think I responded to all the PMs. Seriously, I am blown away with the interest in these!   I love to woodwork, and grill, so having a small joint project that not only interests me, but others in the hobby, is awesome!

If I haven’t responded, I will get to it in the morning.   Thanks all!

Appreciate everyone who bought an ornament, they will all be en-route for your trees tomorrow!  And, I have a second batch to make.  I have the day off work tomorrow, so I plan to spend the morning in the shop cutting a few more kettles.  I really hope you all enjoy them when they arrive.  They're fun to make.

Here is the stack just before I packed them up.  This chunk of maple had a little curl in it, which makes them even nicer, IMO.


...and, for anyone who may be interested, my woodworking handle is SteinWoodworks - Mainly instagram and facebook.  I woodwork as a hobby, occasionally selling a few things here and there.  Feel free to follow along if you're on social media.

Awesome all, glad to see they are starting to arrive!  Really hope you all like them!

Thanks,

Jim - Just sent you a message back, good stuff!  Been swamped the past few days at work, and since I work on a computer all day (IT), when I sign-off work, some days I just don't like to log back in until I have to the next morning! LOL
