We had several inches of snow around our cabin at 8800 feet a few weeks back. Then it got warm and most of it melted. Except for all the north-facing slopes and road sections. Those are nice and icy now.

So I made some snowless snowmen.
And some Christmas trees for good measure.

Some of the wood was from a freshly cut branch of a pine or ours. (turned first to a rough shape, then dried in the microwave and turned a second time for finishing)

Sigh, we have 3.5ft piles. I shouldn't complain as this is the first year with real snow in the last 5 years.

Nice work Don.
I need to get a small wood lathe.
We won't have snow for Christmas,
But the past few weeks in the Midwest was enough for me. I'm ready for spring.

That looks like fun
What is the green tinged wood, rear left in pic 5? If you were here I'd say tulip poplar.
