Hello,

​Here is a cute Holiday Angel dish for holding candies, nuts and other “goodies” during the festive season! Make one for your own home and/or make several to sell at craft shows or as gifts to friends and relatives! Leave the wood natural or add some paint - either way, it looks great!

The project uses just the 1/16" Carving Bit and the 1/8" Cutting Bit. No other bits are required.

The dimensions of the Angel Dish are about 9.3" wide x 11.6" tall x 1.5" thick

Main items you will need:

1) The Project Files (included):
• Angel_BASE_Section.mpc
• Angel_TOP_Section.mpc

2) Boards with the following dimensions:
Base: 0.75" x 11" x 20"
Top: 0.75" x 11" x 20"

NOTE: Do not use boards that are smaller than specified above unless using an appropriate jig.

3) Sandpaper, glue, stain and/or paint and clear finish

4) A Dremel-type rotary tool with assorted abrasive attachments to aid the sanding process. A spindle sander and small belt sander can help speed up sanding/surface preparation even more.

Apply the finish of your choice. Here’s what I used on the sample Holiday Angel Dish made from Select Pine:
• Applied one coat thinned Bulls Eye SealCoat (50/50 SealCoat and denatured alcohol)
• Sanded when dry
• Several light coats Krylon Clear Acrylic spray to seal
• Sanded lightly when dry
• Applied craft paint to wings, robe, hair, nose, cheeks
• Several light coats Krylon Clear Acrylic overall
