I turn an ornament out of a section of last year’s Christmas tree’s trunk. The ornament was painted with acrylic paints, sanded to 600 grit, and finished with gloss poly.

So it’s that time of the year again, and with a few seconds to spare, I decided to take a go at the Christmas Ornament Challenge. It didn’t work to plan, but I won a good sized egg out of it, so hey, it’s better then nothing! 🙂

I’m 13 and I really like projects and when I saw this I had to do it I decided to burn wood and make curls of wood  I cut the wood as thin as I can and soaked for a day curled them and secured them with screws then waited until dry them put them all together  this was a really fun contest so thank you for making this contest and opening it up for more competitors:) this took me  3 days to complete 🙂

In this video I do an inside out turning, with a segmented turning, and an Alumilite Casting center around a Christmas Tree. This was a fun project but a long one with many steps. This is for the Christmas Ornament Challenge 2016.

My wife and I decided years ago that we wouldn’t bother with a tree until we had kids.  When our daughter was born a few years ago, I decided to start a tradition of creating an ornament each year from a piece of the previous year’s tree.  This helps me to preserve the memories of each Christmas season, as well as a small piece of that tree..

This is my entry for the 2016 Christmas Ornament Challenge put on by Carl Jacobson and Alan Straton. This is the first time I’ve ever tried turning an ornament, let alone a inside out one.

This ornament is a Santa hat box.  Inside is the perfect space to hide a chocolate kiss.
When I was a kid we had reindeer ornaments that hid a chocolate.  It was always exciting to find them, but a let down when they were empty inside!
I wanted to try out this ornament as a prototype.  It was fun and turned out okay. I think I could improve my process quite a bit next time.– Todd Richardson
