Layered Wood Christmas Tree Trio

Cut the two top pieces for each tree size, one 1" shorter than the other, with a 40° cut on the top end and a 25° cut on the bottom end.

Attach the two top pieces together with 1-1/4" brad nails and wood glue, clamping while the glue sets.

Measure and mark down 1/2" from the peak and add the first row of branch pieces with glue and brad nails.

Measure, mark, and add the second row of branch pieces.

Attach the base piece to the bottom of the tree.

Add the trunk piece to the base. Repeat the whole process for each tree size — they're designed to nest together for storage.
