Wooden Christmas tree
Don't know if this link has been posted before, I received it in an email this morning.

As my friend said:
"Patience, precision, perfection!
It is made in the Erzgebirge region (Ore Mountain Area) of Germany, the southern part of Saxony, where he was born.
This young man in the video knows what he is doing. Enjoy."
Take note of the shape of the chisel used for the turning at the beginning of the video.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing this one Bob.
Timber choice would be critical, I'd imagine.
I checked, out of interest, and the ones in the video are Lime/Linden, tilia europaea.... Steve

Timber
Hi
great podcast ...
What type of timber do you think ? .. Some sort of poplar or cherry ?
Was the timber green ?
I like the jig used for turning the tapper
