2. Apply stain to all pine boards and let dry.

3. Create a triangular frame with the two 6-foot boards and the 29.5-inch board:

  • Use wood glue to adhere the top ends of the 6-foot boards to each other. Clamp and let dry.
  • Use wood glue to adhere the two ends of the 29.5-inch board to the bottom ends of the 6-foot boards.
  • Hammer in finishing nails at each corner of the triangular frame to secure.

4. Fit in a 1/2-inch x 24-inch copper pipe at the bottom of the triangular frame and mark the position, then mark every 10 inches moving up from the first mark.

5. Cut additional 1/2-inch copper pipe to size for each additional set of marks.

6. Drill pilot holes at each mark in the frame, insert the copper pipe pieces and use screws to hold them in place.

7. Secure the triangular frame perpendicularly to the two 1-foot boards, one at each end of the base, with wood glue and finishing nails.

8. Add your ornaments.
