I-398 Poinsettia Wreath

Intermediate Level   19? wide x 17" high   115 pieces

A great Christmas piece, the poinsettias and pine cones are on a woven willow wreath. I used 3/4” thick wood for this project; Red Heart for the “M” (red leaves). Green Poplar for the “MD” (green leaves), Peruvian Walnut for the “D” (pine cones), Western Red Cedar for the “ML” (willow). The centers were cut from 1/2” thick Yellow Heart, or you could use maple dowels.

A Wonder Wheel was used for adding texture. Suggested Blades:  Gold #5 for Pine or any softwood. Platinum Plus #3,  Platinum #5,  TLB #5  for the hardwoods.  PLP #2/0, or TLB #2/0 to cut the interior lines (after the exterior lines are cut).
