A little something to put on my desk at work

Postby DaveL » 15 Dec 2014, 20:12

In the past I have populated my desk with snow men, but this year I saw Tim Yoder turn a Christmas tree, on you tube, so I have had a go at one.

finding a small set of lights in the located garden centre was the trigger for trying to make one.
Image
made from 3 blanks that were in a mixed sack of wood I bought a year or more ago, I think they are sycamore, the trunk is iroko, an off cut in the fire wood given to me by Tom and the base is mahogany, once again from a fire wood bag from somewhere.
its just finished with a quick rub of wax.
Regards,
Dave
My tool kit is almost complete, only a few more to get.
