That is very cool Marc! You've got to tell us more about the metal and turning it. I'm always looking to expand my snowmen army.These kind of exchanges are fun experiences, you never know what to expect, it's always a pleasant surprise.
On Friday I received a well-wrapped package containing a really cool trio of snowmen, or perhaps a snowman family. Resin & metal and highly polished to a fine shine. They are well-crafted and make a nice addition to the holiday decor. Beautiful work!
A nice WB "peanut" was also in the box. A gift that will get quite a bit of usage.
Thanks, Marc!

Great looking gnome!
Gotta name it - it can't be gnome with no name!
I received a box from @Spinartist with a beautiful live edge ornament and 3 killer Amboyna Burl blanks. Thanks Lee, I hope you can make it to SWAT again soon!
Even makes your hand look big....
It's a work of art appropriately sized!
Very nice!
The roof is definitely Yew. The body of the ornament, I could't remember exactly. I do know I bought a few pieces from @Eric Rorabaugh a couple years ago and this piece of burl was in with those pieces.
**ENDED** Box of peppermill blanks
Have a box of peppermill blanks. Cherry, oak burl, spalted maple, ambrosia maple. Some of the maple will need stabilized. I'm needing to sell these. They will go UPS simple. $50/shipped They are all 2 1/2+. The shortest is one of the oak burl at 5 1/4. Most are 6" long

I'm afraid those photos are misleading, and likely understate Lee's talent.
I was fortunate to meet @Spinartist a few years ago when he was in SE NC for a week. We all know he is a very talented turner, but whay you may not know is that he is an exceptional tiny turner. I'm afraid Tony's hand make his ornament look bigger than it probably is.
Lee was kind enough to give me a piece of his work, so I just grabbed a few photos to give a sense of what I suspect is the real scale of that ornament.
Henry, I was lucky enough to have one of Lee's goblets as well, he gave me one a few years ago. I think mine is smaller than yours, incredible work at such a small scale!I'm afraid those photos are misleading, and likely understate Lee's talent.

Here's mine. I can't hold it in my hand because I hot glued it in this cube, I was afraid it would get lost otherwise!
Chestnut oak burl
@Jason Goodrich @Eric Rorabaugh
Per Eric it's Chestnut Oak Burl. If you look at the box of wood I bought from him, it's the midde piece on the left-hand side.
