First Christmas Ornament

[Nate Davey]

This is the first ornament I've done. It didn't look so symmetric while on the lathe or pointy in the middle. It is walnut and holly with a CA finish. As I'm a new turner and have never done finials or things of the like before, I am very happy with #1. There were certainly some challenges I had to work through with turning and assembly and the next one should be "easier". Candid criticism would be appreciated.

Not sure I could do as well as you have.

Way To GO~!

Awesome job. I'll have to try some of those when I finally get a chance to setup (and majorly tune up) the lathe I bought a few months ago.

Keep up the good work!

Looks great, Nate. What a classy, traditional ornament. A tree full of these would look spectacular.
