Every year, I make my wife a wooden Christmas ornament as a gift.  Here's this year's attempt.  It's hollow on the inside, so I was able to add a real bell so it rings.  The cool thing is that I was able to make it out of a branch of a maple tree from her parents' house.  She always loved that tree and would play in it when she was younger.  Unfortunately, it was damaged a few years back and had to be cut down, but I saved a few pieces just for this.  Sorry for the mediocre picture quality.  Word on the street is that Santa's bringing a new camera this way fairly soon.  Thanks for looking and merry Christmas to everyone!
