DECORATION

1 Using carbon paper or photocopies of the patterns and spray adhesive, transfer the full-sized tree patterns on the WOOD PATTERNS™ insert in the center of the magazine to W stock. See the Buying Guide for our source of void-free birch plywood.

2 Scrollsaw the pieces to shape (we used a #4 scrollsaw blade, .033*.014", with 15 teeth per inch). Drill blade start holes, and scrollsaw the openings to shape.

3 Cut the candle-support blocks to size from solid stock. Hold each in a handscrew clamp, and

drill a hole to fit the bottom end of your candles.

4 Lightly sand the edges and surfaces with 220-grit sandpaper. Assemble the trees as shown on the Exploded View drawing (we used a drop of instant glue at each spacer block to hold the pieces together). Brush or spray on a light coat of medium green paint. Then, wait about 30 seconds, and wipe off most of the paint to let the grain show through. We found this stained look more appealing than a coat of solid green paint.
