HELP! I need to make about 2 dozen Christmas Tree Ornaments by Thanksgiving.
Any ideas, easy plans for turned ornaments or otherwise appreciated.

Thanks,

Woodcraft, Craft Supplies USA ("The Woodturners Catalog"), and (I think)
Rockler sell kits (similar to pen-turning kits) with an eye and a finial.
Their catalogs have some examples, e.g.
http://www.woodturnerscatalog.
com/cgi-bin/shopper?search=action&keywords=christmas-tree-ornament

Craft Supplies also sells a book on turning ornaments.

Or you may feel free to use this photo of some I made a few years back for
inspiration, entertainment, bad examples, or whatever you like:

You will probably also have a better response if you crosspost your question
to rec.crafts.woodturning .

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.

G'day Doug,
Very nice. I'd never have thought of turning Xmas tree ornaments.

OTHERWISE. How about scroll sawing. My tree will be loaded and it didn't
take long to do

I found other links but this "doc" had the best pictures and good step
by step for inside out ornaments. I downloaded it and it didn't have
any viruses but I know people don't like downloading docs.
