Hot Air Ballon Ornament

Balloon made from Colorwood while the basket is Tulipwood with copper craft wire as support cables. First I've done in this design and I intend to make several more. Merry Christmas to all.

Very nice Buck, love the idea too. That wood, is it naturally that colour, sorry I don't get to see much different wood and was intrigued Thumbs Up!

Ruining lots of good wood to get a few average bits.

What a fun and cute idea. I have some friends that like to ride and watch balloons. I'll have to make something like this for them.

Live long, love lots, and turn fast.

This is a first for me... and I like it very much. The balloon looks great with the rings.
