Thanks for the shout out Alan. I turned the 1/4 inch drive chuck out of persimmon and used the Nova live center with 1/4 inch adapter that came with it. Nicely done.

Son nom n'est pas Alan. :) je m'appelle Alan.

Very nice Alan. I really like that there are no special jigs needed. Both the drive and live center can easily be turned. This one will go into my future project file. Thanks for sharing it.

Lots of options. :) Alan

Thank you Alan. At first look my mind did not see "Star". Then I was occupied with the turning technique. And then I was hooked on the finials. Then, "Ureka", there was the star. It just took a little thinking outside the box. Very well done Alan. I like the contrasting woods. Maple always goes well with walnut. Thank you for sharing. Have a great 2024 and stay safe.🙂🙂

The star shone brightly for you.

Nicely done! I have used the Beall collet chuck with a 1/4” collet to hold the 1/4” shafts. The challenge ornaments are indeed a good source of inspiration.

Glad it was helpful! Alan

I entered an ornament into the challenge back in 2016 that has a very similar idea to this one, but I used a face plate and hot glue. This seems like a much more friendly method, really cool

Yes, Many more projects coming in 2024. Alan

Nice Allen, may give it a try but will likely go with a smaller cube to keep the weight down.

Absolutely. This one was too big for me also since it was solid. Alan

Go for it! and report! Alan

Well described video and beautiful result. To me, it looks a little heavy to hang on the tree. I'll have to give it a go to find out.

It is definitely heavy. but since it does not require a jig for each size, it could easily be smaller. I'm not sure about hollowing it. Hmmm. Alan

A little to bulky for me but I think with a smaller cube and finer finials it wouldn't be as noticeable. Nice job as always.
