Woodturning: turn a snowman Christmas tree ornament.

This video is one of several in which I turn quick and easy Christmas ornaments. These ornaments can be turned in 15 minutes or less, take only one small piece of wood, and make great Christmas trinkets to give to family and friends. I "mass produce" a lot of these each year for small Christmas gifts.

A text article on turning this ornament and two others can be found in the October issue of the Highland Woodturner, at this address:
