A couple ornaments - Steve K - 10-23-2017

I had a piece of spalted beech that was heavily spalted, despite that it was still pretty solid. Made one ornament with walnut and one with maple.

Another job well done buddy.  I forgot what you use to hollow them with?

Lovely ornaments, Steve.  What is the approximate size and where do you get the eyelets?
