Drum Ornament for the 2018 Gatton CNC Christmas Challenge

Dave Gatton is hosting the 2018 Gatton CNC Christmas Challenge.  I collect drum Christmas ornaments, but I don't have one made of wood, so I made one.  Watch my project video below, then click here to view the other entries and subscribe to Dave's channel.  Thanks to Dave and the sponsors for the challenge!

This Drum Christmas Ornament is made from poplar and red cedar.  I designed the project in the Inventables Easel Software and cut it with the X-Carve CNC Machine.  Click here to open my Easel project.  I sprayed it with Satin Deft Clear Wood Finish Lacquer, then used three strands of gold thread in an X pattern around the drum (because the thread was so thin).  I really like how it turned out.  Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!
