Feather & Leaf ORNAMENTS

Indulge your inner free spirit with these nature-inspired creations

Cut by Jon Deck, Bob Duncan, and Kaylee Schofield

T hese leaf and feather designs are inspired by some of my finest childhood memories of exploration through forests (and backyards) unknowntraipsing home with pockets full of these small treasures. Where I live, the jacaranda trees look like clusters of green feathers!

These compound-cut ornaments require a bit of concentration to make, but in the end, theres a huge payoff. Attractive hardwoods, like oak or cherry, lend themselves to the feather and leaf designs, but you could also cut them from a bland wood and finish with stain or acrylic paint. Remember that, when cutting the side-view pattern, you will be cutting wood about 2" (5.1cm) thick, so choose your wood accordingly.

Cutting and Finishing

Cover the blank with blue painters tape. Photocopy the pattern and fold on the dotted line. Apply temporary bond spray adhesive to the back of the pattern, align the fold with the corner of the blank, and press it into place.

Drill holes for each fret. Use a drill press.

Make the cuts on one face. Use a #3 skip-tooth blade. I start with the frets on the front of the feather or leaf and work outward. Then cut the perimeter.

Remove the dust with a vacuum and tape the waste wood back in place with clear packaging tape.

Rotate the blank 90. Then cut the remaining face. Use a #7 skip-tooth blade.

Remove the pattern from the blank, and carefully sand away any blemishes or bumps. Finish with semigloss spray lacquer or Danish oil. Display as desired; I fed a small piece of colored ribbon through the central vein of each ornament and hung them on my tree.

T hese ornaments can be made from a solid piece of wood and painted or stained - photo 7

T hese ornaments can be made from a solid piece of wood and painted or stained, or finished naturally. To give them a unique look, glue up your blank using thin strips of contrasting wood.

I cut my stock slightly oversized and sanded it down to 1 " (4.5cm) square. For straight blade-entry holes and neat inside cuts, the blocks must have perfectly straight edges at a 90 angle to each other. If you are not laminating your blank for a multi-colored ornament, you can skip right to step three.

PREPARING THE BLANK

Cut the strips to size. I cut an assortment of " to " (6mm to 1cm)- thick wood into 1 " (4.8cm)-wide strips. Cut the strips into 5 " (14cm)-long pieces. Shorter pieces can be used for smaller ornaments.

Glue the strips together. Mix and match the strips of wood for unique color combinations. The stack should be about 2" (5.1cm) thick. Apply wood glue between the layers and clamp the strips together until the glue dries.

Prepare the blank. Sand or trim the blank down to 1 " (4.5cm) square. I use a disc sander, but you can use a table saw or your method of choice. It is critical for the sides to be flat and square to each other.
