Glue the ends of the wood pieces together
Glue the ends of the wood pieces together with the wood glue. Apply wood glue to the bottom of the shortest side of the triangle. Bar clamps may be used to keep the triangle in place. Nail each end together to make the tree sturdier. Remove excess glue. Let dry 10 minutes.
