Today, I plan to turn several miniature bird houses to give away and I can't find my woodturning rule book. Would someone look up the ornament rules?
I plan to suspend the ornaments from small stands of wood and wire. Since they will remain on the stands for show and not for the birds, would it be ok with you all for me to spindle turn the tiny ornaments in one solid piece? If it's allowed, maybe I'll use lightweight wood. Will the turning referee throw the yellow penalty flag if I don't care enough to turn my very best?
I don't want to be drummed out of the hobby, but hollowed two piece miniatures would take more time to make (for me at least) and add little to appearance. IIRC, solid mushrooms, snowmen and weedpots are allowed and I could save hollowed two piece work for boxes.
I realize there are severe penalties, so I anxiously await while my infraction is under review for introvertible evidence that I stepped out of bounds. TIA. TIC,?
