was then placed on the block. The block was remounted with the tenon inside an adjustable chuck, and the inside of the block removed. The face of the ornament-to- be was then trued.<br><br> Next, a dark veneer was placed onto the trued face. This veneer should also be segmented so that the linear filaments, and not the ends of the filaments, are exposed after turning. After the veneer is glued, the segmented ring previously formed is glued to the veneer on the top part of the ornament.<br><br> Once the glue is dried, the segmented ring is brought to round. At the same time, the outside of the ring face is brought to true, and the inside of the ring cut to desired wall thickness. Another 2-inch by 2-inch block was then mounted into the lathe.<br><br> This piece will be the bottom of the orna- ment. The block was worked in the same manner as the initial 2- inch by 2-inch block. When the piece was finished, a layer of dark veneer was glued to the piece.<br><br> Also a hole was drilled in the end to receive a finial when the ornament is finished. Jeff then placed a pre-constructed template on the head stock to hold the ornament. The tail stock was brought up to the ornament to hold it tightly, and hot glue was placed between the head-stock template and the ornament.<br><br> At this point, the ornament was brought to final shape. After finishing, the ornament was taken off and the finial placed into the bottom.
