This is the second Downeast Thunder Creations Christmas Project for the 2018 Christmas season. It’s three different sizes of round, wood, Christmas tree ornaments. They are cut out in two pieces each from 1/8” (3mm) Luan plywood. This material used to be commonly referred to as “door skins” because it is used as the outer layer of hollow interior doors. My local lumber yard was able to get it for me and sells it for $11.75 per 4’ x 8’ sheet. The two parts are cut out and then slipped together with a very tight fit, such that no glue is needed or used.

I don’t sell these as finished ornaments. I cut out the ornaments on my cnc machine and leave them in place on the 8” x 12” sheet I cut them on. I then sell and ship the ornaments “by the sheet” and the customer has the joy of removing the pieces from the sheet, cleaning them up, and painting or finishing & decorating as they desire.

These ornaments can easily be made with conventional wood working tools if you don’t have a cnc machine. So I’ve provided full sized patterns in pdf format that you can download and print out. I recommend applying a spray adhesive to the patterns and sticking them to piece of hardboard or plywood. You can then carefully cut them out and use them as templates for making multiple ornaments.
