Reclaim Your Scrap Wood This Christmas: How To Build The Ultimate DIY Christmas Tree 2023

Want to build an easy wooden DIY Christmas Tree out of scrap wood this holiday season? This (not so little) wooden Christmas tree was made from reclaimed 2x4s I had left over from a roofing job. Even though there are some bevel and compound angles, this Christmas tree project is simple and easy—especially once you have both your table saw and miter saw set up! There are so many awesome DIY trees out there this holiday season that have been made out of scrap lumber by amazing builders. But when I saw this one, I knew I had to give it a go and build it for you! All of the cuts to this simple woodworking project can be found on my channel under the "Community" section here -    • Post   I did mention a couple of things in this wooden Christmas tree "how-to" video, which I will post here!

Thank you for being a part of this chapter! The first link goes to ‪@cedarriverwoodworking‬ I did not put a wooden star on this tree because Andy has built an awesome one that I would have used. So, instead of me building his star, you can find it here:    • How To Make A Wooden Star   The second link goes to OneLittleProject for the tree template I used to cut out the stand. https://onelittleproject.com/christma... Also, I would like to remind everyone of the "SUBSCRIBER SHOWCASE"! 🎄🎄🎄🎄HEY EVERYBODY🎄🎄🎄🎄 I want to put together a compilation video of your Christmas tree builds to show my appreciation for subscribing and being a part of my channel. It doesn't have to be the specific tree I made, but any wooden tree you personally made for Christmas this year! If you would like to email me a picture of your tree, I will edit it with your name and put it on a (Shorts) video! I think it would be really cool to see what everyone is making and for all of us to have our own little "showcase" spot of cool and awesome builds! You can email me a picture of your tree at [email protected], along with how you want your name to appear in the video! Thanks, everybody. I look forward to seeing your trees! Happy holidays! If you wanted to light up your little wooden Christmas tree, I used battery-operated LEDs that I had lying around. That seemed to work out nicely. But I did have to use three of them to make my tree nice and bright! This is just an Idea for you if you want to add lights to your new Christmas home decor project!
