Default Display for the show

Been thinking about a way to show off the santa ornaments. Tried to make a display tree but it didn't turn out right so changed my mind and went with an a-fram style, nothing major but i liked the natural look to it.

Any thoughts on it? Good, bad or changes, all thoughts are welcome.

Pretty cool! I'll take 12th Santa from the left please!

To snazz it up - perhaps you could wrap some miniature lights or holly around it?

Michael,
Nothing wrong with that. I did an ornament display a long time ago that worked out real well and was shaped like a Christmas tree. I used a 1' thick dowel rod and attached it to a stand. I then drilled 1/4" wholes through it at different angles and inserted different length 1/4" dowels in with the longest ones at the bottom and the shortest at the top, shaping it like a tree. I then put round wood balls on the ends of the dowel rods to hide the ends of the dowels and this also kept the ornaments from easily coming off. I too like the natural look of your display. Let us know how it works.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Mark

It looks great and could be used for non Christmas items at some other time.
