I'm so glad you left that big fat base on it, so many turners cut the base down too thin, the different tones in the wood make it special, rustic. I love it! Thank you!

Nice looking tree. Well done. I guessed 3 trees so a mile off the actual number. Laburnum is not native to the US, but the freshly turned colour looks similar to mulberry. Sad that mulberry quickly reacts to become a dull muddy brown colour, not at all attractive. Glad you did not get a catch with the skew. I have complete confidence with my skew - as long as I leave it sitting in the rack on the wall. Dave.

Hi Dave, you were way off, we had 3 up before Halloween! My wife does enjoy Christmas! Laburnum is a beautiful wood to turn, the grain is just amazing but you do have to be a little careful how you deal with it as it's poisonous, so you don't breath in the dust or make a fruit bowl from it. I am getting better with the skew so confidence is growing, but as we both know it can and will bite back at any point. Thanks as ever Dave, all the best Mike

13 trees 14 after this one

“The goose is getting fat, please to put a penny in the old man’s hat” Fortunately your turning far surpasses my singing. My guess is eleven this will make an even 12 which brings to mind …”on the 12th day…”love your work😊

Hi Mike, Yes, I have been active turning various styles of trees. I would normally make the 'trunk' a bit thinner than your design, but I like to leave the base as 'rustic' as possible. I haven't tried laburnum, though - it looks great. I was going to guess into double figures of trees in your house from your hints; I think we will end up with a (much) higher number than your house! - my Wife goes bonkers with it all (not that it is a competition) 😊

Haha, love the word bonkers!! Our trees first started going up before Halloween!!!

Cool tree Mike! I'm yet to turn laburnum but I've had a piece waiting to go on the lathe for the longest time! Ok, so you're wife likes trees and you make trees, I'm gonna say there's 15 in the house 😂 Great video, cheers mate!
