Christmas tree....a little different

[Ted Calver]

Apologies to those of you who may have seen this when I posted it a few years back. I made this several years ago as a craft display fixture, but it has since been re-purposed as a kinetic holiday tree. Made of Wenge strips and Maple mini pegs in the accordion style of old fashioned kiddie gates and mug racks, it hangs over the fireplace and as the heat rises the ornaments dance and gently tap the wall. It has become a family tradition to hang this tree when we put up the real one and we enjoy it long after the real one's been taken down.

Very cool ... don't let my wife see this one!

Thanks, now my wife wants one . . . any chance you had a pattern to go by? Hardware? Mug posts?

Nice, very nice . . . .

Kinetic.... "of or caused by motion"... Webster

Very nice and a clever idea Ted... and no.. my wife can't see it either. :)
