Woodturning a Leaning Christmas Tree

This video is about turning a Christmas tree using off-center or multi-axis woodturning. This Tree is a shelf sitting decoration that leans over and gives the look of being wind-blown rather than being straight up and down. I explain how to create this look by turning each tree section on a separate axis on a wood lathe. It should be a project for intermediate woodturners to try to make wonderful gifts for friends and family.
