Christmas tree of my ornaments

[Ron Altier 5,513]

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

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!

That is a very interesting idea. Is the background painted oneline at a time?

Very cool Ron.  How many Christmases does this represent?  This is definitely a labor of love.

Beautiful! That could be a Hallmark card. Or a jigsaw puzzle picture (I do one every morning).

 That's quite the collection & very festive display Ron. Beautiful work.

 The background is quarter inch ply, one good side. 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.)

Very impressive work...  Merry Christmas Ron!
