Project Information

This a PART of the ornaments I turned this year.

Every year I turn ornaments for the kids as Christmas gifts. Last year I did not. Boy did I catch trouble for that!! haha

This year I think I made up for it.

Woods are: Maple, Purple Heart, Walnut, Mahogany, Padauk, Cocobola, Cherry, Blood Wood, and probably some more. ( After all, they were all scraps! )

Made a total of 54 ornaments, only about 40 pictured.

Please leave all comments and suggestions.

Thanks for looking
Scrappy

Looks like a fine collection. I've saved the bottom of last years trunk to try and turn some trees like the one you made, hope I can make it as nice. Really like your urchin ornaments.

Scrappy this is what I want to do this year but I might have started to late. These are beautiful.

I sat last Sunday almost all day and watched videos of folks turning these and then started. The new Powermatic makes it a lot easier than the old Craftsman to turn these and anything else for that matter. I need to start using diff wood for diff effects also.

A tradition well worth keeping. The kids will remember receiving these ornaments for many years to come, and likely will encourage another generation of woodworkers in the family. Well done!!

PART? Goodness. I really love making these. It's really the reason to have a lathe. Wonderful projects that will be enjoyed for generations (that's the coolest part).

Scrappy, I was giving up on you and then, blam !, you know out a bunch of cool stuff at once.
Those are all beautiful and I bet they become treasured family heirlooms.
You sure are better at that on the lathe then me.
With your talent, it better not be another 9 1/2 months before we see another Scrappy piece ! lol
Good job.
