This is a 3 layer inside out Christmas tree made from Maple. The concept is awesome. However, the execution needs to be refined. I definitely learned where i made my mistake. Next time i’ll get it right. I would love to see someone else improve on this idea.

My entry into your contest is trying to incorporate my carving skills.I started out from a scrap piece of basswood. I used the lathe tho turn the basic shape and then finish carving by hand. I used acrylic paint for the final finish. The size is roughly 1″ dia x 3″ long. The video shows step by step as I made this piece. This is my first time to enter your contest. Thanks to you both for allowing this to happen. I have been a long time fan of you both.

About two years ago a neighbor allowed me to grab a couple pieces of walnut from a few trees he was having harvested in his yard.  Originally I was hoping to make a bowl for him, but most of the wood cracked in drying, but I did have a large enough piece remaining to make this ornament for him.
