Here is a project that I have been putting off for a few years, 8 or so. My good friend and I bought a box , a large box of bottle brush trees at York one fall . We actually gave some away to another great friend for his help at York. Anyway not long ago we finally divided them up . They were sitting under the train table for all those years. My guess is 98% of them did not have bases and they needed them , so my next project was born. #1. I cut a few size disks using hole saws in my drill press. #2. Primed them. #3. Sanded them. #4. Added two coats of dark red semi gloss finish. #5. drilled holes #6. Hot glued the trees in place. It wasn't a fast project, but well worth it. Now that I have mine done I'm now working on my friends half of the trees.
