Christmas Decorations

Postby Dalboy » 29 Nov 2015, 20:04

OK not everything I turn is arty(not that I do much arty stuff) or serious turnings, anyway these I did for fun some which are not seen for the first time as I am sure many have made things like them before.

So I turned some Christmas tree decorations the tallest being 4" and made from scrap pieces of wood which I seem to accumulate in the workshop, I am sure many of you also collect bits and pieces.

I will put C & C welcome even though they are not great pieces of turning like many post here.

I think they are excellent and would improve any Xmas tree. Is the bell hollow with a moving clapper? I wouldn't put it past you.

Thanks for sharing and adding even more items to my tuit list.
