The Ornament and The Tree

- I've made an inside-out Christmas ornament. I built this by cutting out 6 diamond shaped pieces of blood heart and purple heart wood. I stacked the 6 pieces together to make a six-sided star pattern. I clamped this construction together with hose clamps. Next I turned a chunk out of this cylinder, and then I rotated each piece of the star 180 degrees to point the hole that I had made in towards the center. This made a void in the interior of the cylinder. I could then turn the outside of the ornament with a void in the middle. I made a little wood turned Christmas tree out of holly wood and placed it in the center of the ornament. It looks a lot like a Lego Christmas tree.
We also went on an excursion to cut down our own Christmas tree at Nobles Only Christmas tree farm.

I think I'm gonna stop calling your videos 'videos' and call them movies instead. Your production is phenomenal and so is the cinematography. Thank you for the highly enjoyable moment.
I liked the cutting back and forth between the cutting down the tree, and building a tree.
Also the falling snow and the falling chips and many more analogy. A very beautiful video!
Watching your ornament build has become a tradition for my wife and I. Thank you for the amazing videos you make!
7:48 Turning that must have been nerve-wracking. I was worried the tool would catch it. Beautiful video and ornament! I'm going to try making one for our tree.
yes, especially when I saw how much it was chipping on the first pass.
Unless you have edited videos you don't know the work that goes into editing, let alone filming, and the actual project. Dual projects even. A lot of work in this one. Good job Frank.
Woodworking project as cinema? Yes! Fantastic project!
I missed this one and it is a beauty. The kids grow up so fast and the shots you got are priceless. Great segways and really nice turning. Beautiful Ornament, family Heirloom! Thank you again Frank!
Frank howarth, your not only a great woodworks man but an amazing videographer.
Love the jump cuts. Shavings to snow flakes and chopping the little tree to the big one. Nice work again Frank!
Frank you are by far my favorite woodworker on TH-cam. It's your mastery of both the art of woodworking and film that makes you my favorite. Please do post more often. I would really appreciate it
Awesome work, Frank! Turned a very similar tree a few weeks ago as my first ornament, but adding that wooden globe around it was an amazing touch.
Crafted Workshop that wooden globe is what a normal traditional ornament looks like, so he put the tree inside the ornament, and put that on a tree lol.
Mr Howarth, I've just watched this video (december '22). This is one of your finest. Thank you. A pleasure for the eyes and soul.
you are an awesome dad. your kids are lovely. I enjoy watching your channel very-very much. thank you for your passion.
Excellent video, as always. I think I've actually been to that Christmas Tree farm. We went there for a few years then switched to Christmas Mountain and made a tradition of stopping by MeMenamins Rock Creek Tavern on the way back. Now, we just get them at Century High School. No more rolling in the mud for me.
Today, Oct. 23, 2017, I stumbled across this video. Not only did I love watching you create a beautiful Christmas ornament starting from your imagination. Then you all trudged through the field just trying to find that one perfect Christmas tree...VERY well made video that not only shows a person how the ornament came about, but seeing it being hung on the tree by the little ones. What a great way to make memories. WELL DONE! Off to watch you create a "Snow Bell"!
No matter what is happening in real life, I know where to find moments of peace and something to make me smile. Thank you so much for sharing part of your Christmas.
THAT is a beautiful ornament. Hopefully the kids will keep that for generations. Make sure to put a 2016 on it.
Love your shop, your videos, your stop motion, the cutaway shots of Real Snow, your antique tools, etc etc..
Can't tell what I enjoy more, the art of the film making or the art of the woodworking.
Merry Christmas, Frank & Family.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Jay.
My Grandfather had this nice tradition: He used to keep a piece of the wood of the christmas tree after christmas, let it dry for the rest of the year and made an ornament out of it in december (and sometimes toys etc.) This way we could keep a piece of every christmas and make it a part of the new one. He started doing this for my uncle's first christmas and did it every year until his age and arthritis made it impossible. He made a total of 53 unique ornaments; some simple ones, some more complex. Turned, carved, painted etc. Maybe your kids would like something this.I loved this as a child and I still do, because I'm always a bit sad that you have to throw that lovely tree away after christmas and I was very exiced to see the new ornament each year.
Absolutely beautiful Christmas tree ornament Frank and magical video. The music you chose really suited it and the storytelling of the ornament inverwowen with the family picking and felling a Christmas tree was lovely. Wishing you and your family Seasons Greetings and a Peaceful New Year.
Frank... you are truly the man. I love the creativity you put into these videos that take it even beyond the woodworking skills you have. It makes them so much more interesting. I am inspired but much less capable all the way around. Thanks.
+Darin Beard Thanks
From 7:47 that's the best shot from a wood making video.
I think that could be one of my favorite lathe shots of all time.
I was just going to write that same thing. That shot was mind-blowing.
Beautiful decoration! I loved the story in this video and the way it was intertwined with the cutting of the real tree 🌲
These videos just keep getting better and better - that footage of the lathe was surreal. Thanks Frank.
So, is Frank an amazing craftsman who also happens to be a sensitive filmmaker? Or a cinematic genius who is also a master woodworker?
Yes
Geesh, Frank! The kids are so huge already!
Absolutely lovely ornament, nice edit! 🤓👍🏼
Beautiful ornament and an ever more beautiful family tradition. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas. Thank you for sharing so much with us. Love your movies.
Frank, that was almost magical to watch. Happy Holidays
Excellent project and video. I love so much the way you tell stories. Merry christmas, Frank and family :)
Beautiful family, beautiful ornament!
Merry Christmas, Frank!
The cinema keeps me coming back. Thank you for the amazing videos.
That was wonderful to watch ... thank you for sharing Frank.
Your films just keep getting better and better, Frank. This has somehow captured a spirit of Christmas without cliché, sentimentality or mawkishness.
Your kids have grown a lot this year! Merry Christmas, Frank & Fam!
I appreciate you lining up the tree felling with the separation in the lathe. Thank you.
Beautiful, Frank. Always love watching your product take shape.
Thanks for sharing Frank! Cute kids by the way! Merry Christmas to all!
great memories for you family , nice ornament the colours are festive and rich
Beautiful video and ornament as always. Merry Christmas!
Thanks for always sharing magical journeys through woodworking.
Wonderful! Thanks, Frank. This reminds me of one of my favorite Christmas memories of taking my 10 year old daughter ( now 39) to cut down a live tree, something we did only once when she was young. Christmas tree farms have kinda fallen by the way here in SW Missouri.🙂
Winter solstice greetings to you Frank and your family... Thank You for your videos...! The turned inside out ornament is a fine use of 3D space... the tree in the center is a great symbol for the christmas in our harts... A tree tip: Next year, bring a string along and tie up the low branches before cutting. Greetings from a chill Denmark...Jakob.
Thank you for the video Frank. Beautiful work and beautiful ornament.
Beautiful storytelling. I like the interweaving of the two different activities. Thank you for producing high quality works, both videos and products in the videos.
all the best Frank to your and your family over the festive season, thanks for the videos, look forward to seeing what you come up with in 2017, cheers
That was one of the most out of the box thinking things I have ever seen! Brilliant to watch, thank you!
I really enjoyed the style of this video. Making mixed with music mixed with ambience. Perfect sir.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Frank! Thank you for another great year of videos. Look forward to your 2017 offerings.
Frank, you are a gifted woodworker and cinematographer - I'm waiting for you to appear on an episode of "this old house" making something special for one of their homes and maybe more...
The production level of this video rivals many Hollywood studios. Very very well done and very enjoyable thank you.
Almost time for this years gem of a project! :)
And a very merry and happy Christmas to you and your family to.
Thanks for all the great projects this year .
I need to try one like that. I recently completed my version of your 2012 ornament. Thanks for the great video's and projects that you share.
If you're trying to take all the humbug out of me it's working.
I have to say Frank, this is one of your best videos yet. Enjoy your family like there is no tomorrow.
Take care my friend and do a kindness

One of the best videos and video productions, I've ever seen on TH-cam. The imaging at 4:50 was simplistic, and creative. Best,
Claire and Calvin grow so fast, especially Calvin! Another year already, merry Christmas!
That's the prettiest ornament I've ever seen!
The drive through the mist with the eerie music was great.Merry Christmas.
Absolutely beautiful Frank.
How can anybody not like this? It's brilliant! Seasons greetings to you, Frank and all your subscribers. Mike
11 minutes of pure, quality enjoyment, You never disappoint.
May your channel reach 14 million subs, your larder and your firewood never run low.
I would totally buy one of these if they were for sale!
So beautiful how you tell these two stories. Thank you!
Very well done Frank. Thanks for producing such high quality work. Merry Christmas to you and yours as well. :-)
As usual your imagination leaves me in awe! A beautiful ornament! The Christmas tree segments with your kids is fantastic, such a wonderful family. Merry Christmas to you and yours! ;}
Thank you Frank for showing us yet another awesome ornament video. Truly a beautiful piece. Merry Christmas buddy 🎅🏼👍🏽
There are some unique lathe views in this video that I have never seen before. Thank you.
Beautiful, Frank!
Thank you Frank, and family!
Thanks for another year of great videos, Frank!
Been waiting a year for this! So much fun seeing you make these every year, hope you keep it up.
Very nice, Frank, you consistently set a very high bar, and this time, you knocked it out of the ball park. Great project, and a wonderful telling of the story. Thanks!
I love that the story of picking the tree and making the ornament is perfectly synced!
I can imagine the one who cut into a Purple Heart tree for the first time was like" What the Hell this tree is purple "
You have never made a lousy video Frank, but some are better than others.
And, this happens to be one of those.
Merry Christmas to you and your great family.
And thank you.
Great to watch this again. Well done
Frank... that was beautiful!
Season's greetings to you and yours.
great festive family video feeling the love that you put into your work and family God bless and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Clever ornament and great video Frank!
Beautiful Piece, thanks for sharing
When you flipped the turning around you blew my mind!!!
Very creative, the ornament and the video. Loved it!
As usual from you Frank a Brilliant piece of Handmade Work, and i am really jealous of your weather, as being in ENG we don't get that much snow. Even the video shoot of you and your family picking out their Tree, was Brilliant with the scenery and weather. Well Done.
Hope that you and your family have a Merry Christmas.

Nicely done. Both the turning and the video.
Instant Christmas classic Frank. Well done.
The videography is getting better and better....golly jeepers! Thanks for the content, Frank!
Happy Holidays, Frank. Thanks for all your thoughtful, interesting, and finely crafted work throughout the year.
Loved the shot turning through the ornament!
beautiful video Frank - thanks for sharing. You always do wonderful work.
amazing video, Frank. these Christmas decoration videos are becoming a bit of a tradition now
Wouaw ! This is awesome ! Project and video !
Merry Christmas from mine to yours Frank enjoy your Holiday Season👍
Love it Frank!
Frank, as usual amazing work, thank you. This is the first time I recall seeing your jointer, was surprised - not that it was vintage, rather that it was a tabletop 4" or 6" model. I would have expected another 800 lb gorilla in your shop!
Stunning
That was awesome... Keep them coming.
