Woodturning - Icicle ornament from a piece of Sycamore -

In this video I turn an Icicle ornament in response to the #festiveskewchallenge2023 issues by Richard Findley over on Instagram.
In previous years you will have seen a Santa and a Christmas tree turned with a skew for the yearly challenge. This years challenge was slightly looser in format with only general guidelines.

Hi Dave...
Lovely scew chisel work... and not a catch in sight... Haha...
My least favourite tool ... but you make it look doable.... perhaps I should blow the dust of it and give it a go...
Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy

Cheers Andy! Radius skew is the answer to get comfortable (in my opinion) and then you can get back to the traditional grinds! Cheers, Dave
