This week's honor goes to @Konstantin Gusev and his talented wife. She did an excellent job painting "The Nutcracker" that Konstantin turned. I know a lot of you are in your shops turning ornaments and other Christmas-related items. If you are procrastinating, this beautiful holiday theme art piece should motivate you to get back to your gift list.
Congratulations, Konstantin and wife, great Collaboration. I hope to see more in the future.

Excellent choice Emiliano, I’m still stunned that the holidays have arrived…where did the year go, lol! I always love a husband and wife collaboration; teaming up in the shop just sounds right; maybe someday for Becky and myself!! Konstantin has always impressed at the lathe, the detailing by his wife just makes this piece! Congratulations to them both!!
