Every year since 1999, except for 2, I have warmed up the scroll saw and made a Christmas ornament/window hanging for my family and friends. The two years I haven’t managed to get one made it’s been because of work. The two pictured here are the 2005 (owl) and 2004 (heart) creations. The owl is 3 1/2” tall and 2 5/8” wide. The heart is 3 1/2” tall and 3” wide. The owl is walnut and the heart is purpleheart. The owl is has no finish, the heart was finished with a spray poly.
The owl design is completely original. The heart design is based on a box design in Custom Wooden Boxes for the Scroll Saw by Diana Thompson. I also made that box – it’s the next project I’ll post.

Are these minature to hang on a tree, or more of a wall hanging.
Very nice

They could be hung on a tree (they’re 3 1/2” in the largest dimension) but it requires a tree with a fair amount of openness. My mother has all but the creche (made in 2000 I think) hanging in her dining room window year round.

owl is a great original design. i’ve done a bunch of scrolling, but i rarely design. i like the creativity of that design. i remember thumbing through that book too and the heart box seems familiar. nice adaption.
