The Christmas Tree Dish - DECEMBER 2012 Project of the Month

Hello,

Here is a preview of the next Project of the Month (for DECEMBER 2012)... The Christmas Tree Dish!
Just in time for the Holidays! The Christmas Tree Dish is a quick and easy project to use for holding “goodies” for the holidays in your own home or to make and give as gifts to loved ones! The project uses just the 1/16" Carving Bit and the 1/8" Cutting Bit. No other bits are required.

The completed Christmas Tree Dish is about is about 8.5" x 10" x 1.5" tall.

Main Items you will need...

1) The Project Files (included):
• Tree_Sections.mpc

2) Boards with the following dimensions:
Tree Sections: 0.75" x 11" x 29"

NOTE: Do not use boards that are smaller than specified above unless using an appropriate jig.

3) Sandpaper, glue, stain and/or paint and clear finish

4) A Dremel-type rotary tool with assorted sanding wheels and bits to sand small details and speed up preparation for finishing.

Apply stain/paint and clearcoat of your choice.
Here’s what I used on my Christmas Tree Dish made from Select Pine:
• Rust-Oleum Ultimate Stain - Traditional Cherry
• Bulls Eye Spray Shellac clear top coat

Very nice Michael. As I recall December is a good 3 or 4 months away, so there is plenty of time:( Don't know why it has been so cold for September!

That looks really great!!!!! I'll have to make some for gifts. Thank you Michael for a great POM. It may be early but Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!!!!!

Ha! I WISH I could move back in time! BTW, I will be out of the country for a couple weeks (leaving this afternoon) ...I will return on Dec 7th (back in the office on Dec 10th), so my internet capabilities will be spotty during my travels.

Have a safe trip Michael.
