I just finished making twelve bottle toppers and a paper clip magnet holder.  I am trying to clean up left over projects.  I had the corks and dowels..  I also had left over wood.

Linda and I make these six lathe turned snowmen.  I turned their bodies and hats.  Linda made their scarves and added the buttons, faces (and the white body on one).

Linda and I competed some of our work in the Solano County Fair.  Linda was awarded two second place ribbons and one best of division ribbon.  Her and I had worked on the three Faberge eggs and we received a second place ribbon for that entry.  I really did not see any other wood work submitted for this fair.  The Bottle Toppers are a project I just finished.  There are six of them and I turned them from various colors of laminated wood.  They are fun to look at and I think they will make Christmas presents.
