Default Christmas Ornaments
Just posted these in the gallery. I forged each of them from 4 peices of 1/4" square stock 10" long, forge welded twisted and drawn out. Pig tail scroll on one end and a long icecicle taper on the other end. 1" ball bearing inside. wire brushed and finished with boiled linseed oil. Let me know what you think.

Kind of like Pawnee1's caged marbles but you can heat these back up to put a finish on it.

By the way, these are really neat. How heavy are they for the tree?

Morning JWBIRONWORKS, They are great, I've made candle holders like that and it is the same as the "caged marble" only on a larger scale. Great take care.

Very nice! Great quality on the pics too. Really clear on the finish & details. I can't wait till I can get back to the forge!

Very nice. But, as Reb asked, how heavy on a tree!? Still very nice. I guess they could be hung on a mantle. Thanks for sharing.

John, really nicely done. I would have the same issue as divermike if my wife ever saw the stuff like this that is in the Gallery.
