monkey141 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Hello all,Starting to make a list for next year and i am wondering if anyone knows about the star on top of most ccr trees? Where do you get it? Custom build? I had some thougts on construction but with so many having the same star i figure you must be getting it from somewhere, so why reinvent the wheel.Thanks,Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Laff Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I built my own star out of 1/4 steel rod biggest star is 48 inchstip tip to tip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightsinMaine Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Most are hand-made as a 7 stars. I would think drilling holes to make 7 stars in somekind of board is what most do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braze? or something else? Do you have photos?LightsinMaine wrote:Most are hand-made as a 7 stars.

Can you elaborate?I have a star over my manger that is holes drilled into wood. It is what I think of as a Christmas star...8 points (top/bottom and sides are longer and then a shorter point between each of the longer points).I'm looking at creating light towers and and adding a star on top of each. I'm thinking 3 concentric stars so I can chase in or chase out.I want to do a 5 point star so that I can use them for Independence Day as well as Christmas.

And what I meant is kinda in the same line you mentioned with plywood with holes drilled into it to create (5, 6 or even 7) stars one smaller than the next. To control small star through larger stars (exploding stars I call them).... Or weld up a 5, 6 or 7 star similar to Christmaslightshows 3 channel star.
