>You're all some very talented folks! What a nice gallery full of Christmas ornaments. Looking at all of those great turnings makes me even more confident about my decision to not turn any!

When you give the first one to a friend or family member you'll be hooked. The best thing is I make most of them from cutoffs from bowl blanks or wood that was checking so I couldn't make bowls or hollow vessels. I cut all of this into 1x1, 2x2, 3x3 etc trying to save the biggest chunk I can. Then a year or so down the road I have great wood for small things like ornaments.

I do have a good method for turning green wood into ornaments.
