This is my just finished segmented (Purple Hart and Yellow hart tree)  ornament. It has over 50 pieces all glued up in a precise order and turned down on my mini-lathe. I saw a Youtube video of one and decided to make one of my own, with a few alterations. It came out OK but there are several things I would like to have come out better. I see there is also a small crack on part. It is approx 7" high. Overall I am happy at my first attempt. My wife loves it and that is the ultimate test.

Gorgeous, Ron!! I love it!!

Can you post the YouTube link?

It's beautiful, like the shape and design especially the Christmas tree pattern and the attractive wood combination. Great turning piece!

As Allen would say... Happy wife, happy life! Looks very interesting on how you would glue up stock for that. Any pictures on that?
