Recorded turning one for reference for when I have to do it next year and can’t remember all the details 😀 This was one of the finished ones, but the unfinished ones (no wax, just sanded) are nicer for kids as they can colour them in with markers or paints themselves.
Nearly had a woopsie on this one when I didn’t notice the rest moving…

Thank you so much for sharing. Recently, I purchased a lathe for the house (have been taking wood turning classes for the last 6 months). I need to produce some items for the home to make my wife happy. These little trees are perfect. She will love them. Out of curiosity, have you ever tried using dilute acrylic paint as a finish to make the tree green? Too new to know if this is possible. I can see some natural and some with a light coat of paint on them.
