Last year I decided that I was tired of laying out good cash for a Christmas tree that would end up in the landfill a few weeks later. A few days of thinking about it led to the creation here.
Eight leaves of 1/4" luan recycled from the walls in my shop inserted in grooves in a center stalk of fir recycled from my now demolished car port. It was fun making the octagonal tapered stalk although it took much too long to make the jig to rout the grooves in each face. This is the second year we've displayed it and although folks tend to snicker when I describe it, they all seem impressed when they see it.
Anyhow, Merry Christmas to all.
