Thats some real nice work in that picture. I have a mini lathe but so far have only made yoyo's, tops, kalideoscopes, and pen and pencil sets.That ornament took some talent to make . keep up the great work.

That's really neat Charlie.

I'm envious of anyone who has artistic abilities as I don't.

I did make some Christmas tree ornaments one time with the boys when they were little.  We spray painted some Sycamore balls.  That pushed my talents to the limit.

Thanks for all the compliments. I really enjoy the woodturning club. Great bunch of guys and I've learned a lot from them. This ornament really isn't as tough to turn as it looks. If anyone wants to know how, just let me know and I'll try to describe it to you.  :)

Please do, Charlie. :)  I suppose I have got to find a truning club around here some day.  It just takes time from sawing the next pretty peice of wood, I just can't leave. ;)
