Laser Cut Card Stand

Laser-cut trees

What I decided to do was combine laser-cut Xmas trees with a stand that would hold trees and holiday cards. Since my trees are laser cut from 1/8” plywood, that was the clue I needed. Normal table saw and track saw blades are also 1/8”. So, I cut 3/4” deep grooves in a wide, 1” thick piece of scrap hardwood that could support a grove of trees in the background and holiday cards in the foreground.

For laser cutting, I used a Dremel LC40 Laser Cutter and cut 1/8” Baltic Birch Plywood. I scaled and cut several different sizes of trees to make up a background for the holiday cards. Then, I cut rows of grooves every 3/4” or so in my base with a table saw, planted the trees, displayed the cards, and the project was done in a few hours.

I'll design a special 3D printable version of this project and post it later.
