Angel Ornament

Now that Christmas has come and gone, I can post photos of this year's ornament. Every year I carve an ornament for some family members, and since some of them follow my blog I didn't want to spoil the surprise. The angels are carved from butternut. I sealed some with lacquer and the remaining I applied danish oil. I'm not sure I like how dark the oil made the wood, this was the first time I used it. The relatives all liked them, so I guess that's what matters. I carved a total of ten this year, and it was a nice change from the santa or elf ornaments.
