[Woodcarver] chrstmas ornament pattern posted.

[Joe Dillett]

Hi fellow carvers,

I'm told that Christmas is coming. I've got a pattern for the Christmas 
ornament that I will be teaching tomorrow night at our carving club meeting. 
I'm guessing that most of you will not be able to make our club meeting in 
Sandwich Illinois tomorrow so I've posted the pattern and step by step 
instructions in my Webshots album below. Open my link labeled Webshots below 
and go to my first album titled Christmas Star Pattern. All you need is a 3 
1/2 inch square by 1/2 inch thick piece of wood and a sharp knife. You can 
download the pattern to print it. There is another step by step pattern from 
last year labeled Christmas Bell Pattern. If you carve fast like Woodbutcher 
Jan, you should be able to do both of those ornaments in 16 minutes 27 
seconds. And if you got the Woodbutcher knife maybe faster.

I thought that this star pattern would be a great exercise for the beginner 
carver as well as the more experienced, because each point of the star poses 
different angles to the grain so the way each point is cut is different then 
the other points.

Have fun.
