Resin & Burl Ornament

The ornament body is comprised of small pieces of maple burl suspended in resin, the finial and icicle are walnut the base is a piece of spalted maple. The illumination is a string of battery-powered LED lights. The battery pack is mounted in the base and can be removed to replace the batteries when needed.

Very cool. I better not show my wife or she'll want me to try this.
Just a thought that if you wanted to eliminate the wire leading from the base you could thread the top finial and put the string of lights and battery right in the ornament.

@Finn Posner Thanks for the idea Finn, I'd have to go with a bigger ornament or a smaller battery pack. I was also concerned about the battery pack casting shadows. This was my first attempt with illuminating an ornament and based on my wife's reaction it won't be my last.
