Here are some ornaments I cut from some 80 year old oak, salvaged from a church pew. Stock was a mid support that was 1.5” thick, already glued up. Finish is Watco Danish Oil. Each one took about 2 hours to cut, a nice exercise in concentration. But not practical to try to market.

Nice job on these! I sell tons of these but I cut them from aromatic cedar (they only take about 15 minutes with wood this soft to cut). Oak is a very tough wood to cut compound patterns from.
