I created the first Forever Fir tree in December 2018 after looking in vain for something online.  I had owned an artificial tree for years, but our dear cat would eat (and subsequently regurgitate) the plastic needles.  The plastic tree was nearing the end of its life, and I wanted something that would last forever and use no plastic or fire retardant chemicals. 

 

I also wanted a tree that would really show off the 200 and counting ornaments I've collected as mementos of my travels.  The trees I found online were either too short or too fat or too weird looking, and none of them would hold even close to the number of ornaments I wanted to display.  

​

So my husband and I sat down at the kitchen table and banged out a rough design for a tree that would look like a Noble fir.  We built the base together, then I spent the better part of the next week chopping, sanding and methodically drilling almost 1000 holes completely by hand!  

​

We loved the result, and everyone who saw our tree said "You should sell that!"  So here we are!  

​

I now own a drill press, making the drilling part of the job much easier (and straighter), but I still do all of the woodworking myself.
