Christmas Tree Wooden Light Bulb Ornament.

Well I miss the annual Christmas Ornament Challenge this year. and by saying I missed I even missed getting this ornament done before Christmas. Well any this little wood turning project was fun. I took a cutoff piece of Elm and turned it between centers then mounted it in the pin jaws chuck and turned the light bulb and the base. I colored it bright red with a sharpie marker and then colored the base black and the tab silver. It was a fun little wood lathe project. In this how to DIY wood turning video I show the steps to turning a Christmas Ornament. In this wood turning video I make Christmas Ornaments for the Christmas 2021. Thanks for watching.
