Christmas Tree Stump, Turned.

[WoodWrangler]

Figured I'd keep the tree stump for this years tree being that it was my son's first Christmas. Maybe to make an ornament or something. This is all I could come up with ...



It was a sappy mess, but the skew turned it well ... roughing gouge, not so much. Not "finished" by any means, but good enough for my needs. The shop smells good after turning this! :rotflm:

Boy you don't let anything get by you do you?

Way to use those materials!

Nice design. And a shop that smells good must be nice!

OK, you got way too much time on your hands:rotflm:.

 

[ptt49er]

That's a neat idea!

See, now you're going to have to do one every year from here on out. Of course you might want to try a little kiln drying in the oven.

Boy do I wish. I have about 10 minutes into this thing (as you can tell). If was slinging sap all over me :gar-La; but I just rolled with the punches.

Now ... it's cracking like crazy ... adds to the character, right!

I like it.. Yes I think the crack adds to the character of the piece.
