2015 Christmas Ornament Challenge 26-50

A look at how I made a Christmas incense burner in the form of a smoking snowman.

I’m very much the amateur turner, and this chunk of European larch just makes it harder still, but I enjoyed making it and I hope you enjoy watching.

Flashlight cover turned in the shape of a lighthouse. Wood used, Beech.

The Lighthouse guides you through the darkness like Jesus, whose birthday we’re celebrating on Christmas. That’s the reason, why a lighthouse is a Christmas Ornament for me.

Merry Christmas and a Happy and peaceful New Year.
