A big thank you to @John Morris for a beautiful ornament!  Turned with purple heart and the Nativity Star was painted by his daughter.  Wonderful!

Beautiful!!!

Thanks John for your support of our great partner, EWT.

And thanks Jim for creating this project by allowing some of the finest turners to showcase their talents at EWT home office.

We greatly appreciate all the support and your participation here at The Patriot Woodworker.

Now for next year @John Morris we are going to get @HandyDan to teach you how to do inside-out turnings. I would but they will not let me over the border without a passport. By the way keep up the art stuff I think she has potential.

Awe shucks, we had a blast doing this! Thank you Jim for allowing us to be a part of this tradition, and thank you Patriot Woodworkers who participated in this project!

As you can see, my turning skills are in the baby steps. The star painted by our daughter made this ornament for sure!

Nice collaboration. Tuning your skills for chair spindles?

Nice.  We do need to see more tree pictures too.

I think Johns, daughter is already better than John. Don't y'all agree?

Thank you Jim & EWT's  for such a great idea and including TPW talent to be a part.

Definitely turned (no pun intended...OK probably was) out fantastic.

Now where to store all those ornaments until next year?

Individually bubble wrapped and carefully stored in the closet until next year!  Thanks again to all contributors.

@Jim from Easy Wood Tools I have read that bubble wrap may adhere to some finishes. Best practices says to have a layer of paper first. Had wondered about this and just saw it on the AAW forum .
