November 17, 20196 yr Popular Post Today I finished and hung my Christmas tree ornament display above the fireplace. It is 6 feet tall with 76 ornaments that I made of mostly of exotic woods. That includes the angel on top. I've made about 150, I do NOT sell them, I give them to my wife, daughters and grandchildren. I've made over 150 and enjoy each and every one
November 17, 20196 yr Wow, Ron, that is a work of art, that is a family heirloom, and that is just the most danged coolest Christmas tree I have ever seen. I love that!
November 17, 20196 yr Very cool Ron. How many Christmases does this represent? This is definitely a labor of love.
November 17, 20196 yr Beautiful! That could be a Hallmark card. Or a jigsaw puzzle picture (I do one every morning).

I painted it all green and then used an old ratty 1 inch paint brush and white paint to simulate pine branches. The old brush had some stiff bristles and bad places, just perfect to get the effect I wanted.

I started about 3 years ago just to see if I could do it. They got more complex as I learned to be more creative. My family kept encouraging me because they all wanted some. Each Christmas they pick out the ones they want, (providing grandma hasn't already chosen it.)
