A), following the directional arrows. Separate the woods and remove the pattern. Brush wood glue on the edge of the cutout from piece No. 2, then insert it into piece No. 1. Discard the scrap pieces {see Fig. 2).

Once dry, tack wood pieces No. 1 and 3 together and affix a second copy of the pattern. Note: while it may seem possible to use only one photocopy throughout all three sawing procedures, we found that each cut removed lines which were necessary for the subsequent step. Therefore, removing the sawn pattern and replacing it with a new one after each step is highly recommended. Saw out the trees (indicated as pattern B). Discard the scrap pieces and glue the trees into piece No. 1 (see Fig. 3).

Finally, stack pieces No. 1 and 4. affix the third copy of the pattern, and saw out the details (pattern C). Glue and insert them into piece No. 1, discarding the scrap.

Finishing

Make a small mixture of glue and sawdust to use as putty. Rub it across all drill holes and any other places that need filling. Sand off the excess with fine grit sandpaper.

Sand the face of the project until all variations in thickness of the woods are no longer apparent. Finish with oil, wax or clear spray, then frame as desired.

Hang this work of art in a prominent area of your home—it makes a great conversation piece!
