Hi everyone,
This month's forum challenge is to turn a tree. It could be a Christmas tree, but it doesn't have to be. It could be lathe-only, but it doesn't have to be. You get the picture. It's the holiday season, and this is a challenge that can be as simple or a complex as you want. Whatever you choose to do, have fun with it!
Here's a little bit of inspiration. Wood-centric trees by Dave Richards, colorful trees by Jay Hostetler, and lighted trees by Colin Spencer:
There are many ways to interpret this challenge, so the sky is the limit! Here are the rules for this month's challenge, as determined by AAW Forum legal counsel Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe:

- Trees can be made of any material, but must have some lathe-turned component (even if it's not obvious in the end).
- Entries must be posted in this thread by 11:59 pm Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on December 26, 2024.
- As always, this is a turning contest, not a "moldy oldie" photo contest, so in fairness to everybody, make sure your work is something you have made since this challenge was issued on December 8, 2024.
- You may not post any photos of your entry in this month’s challenge in any other thread or in the gallery until the voting has ended and a winner has been declared.
- Voting will take place from December 28, 2024, through 11:59 pm UTC on December 31, 2024.
- Solicitation of votes will result in disqualification.
- The winner might have to pass a lie detector test before collecting the grand prize of a dogleg high-carbon continental gouge. Good luck, have fun, make shavings, and let the chips fall where they may!!
