I was looking at ornaments from the Christmas Ornament Challenge, seeking inspiration. There are many very nice birdhouses. But, what about a hobbit house or hobbit hole. Bilbo needs a home too!

Hobbit hole seem to be built into hilsides or mounds. Why not?

The roof is part of a cylinder of walnut, hollowed from both ends. The home is similar to a birdhouse except that hobbit's are short and ceilings are low. Maple paneling would be nice. But, bilbo also needs to keep warm by a nice fire. Whereas a bird is self insulating. How about a walnut chimney? All pieces are finished with shellac.

Still time to get your ornament into the challenge. Prizes for everyone.

Enjoy.
