Work In Progress: Nutcracker Ornaments

Welcome to my blog.


I've been working on a template for a Nutcracker ornament.  It is a work in progress (WIP).   Like other WIPs, it may not look like these designs as these are pre-prototype.  I'm documenting my progress so an Instructable or magazine article will follow.  Both are things I'm interested in pursuing.

Here are some examplars...



















My prototype got to hang on my daughter's Christmas tree.

Inspiration from Eli Adamit


Welcome to my Blog.

There are some wonderful carvings out there.
I'll be searching for some notables to learn from them.

Look at the faces on the carvings from  Eli Adamit.
