Step 5 Add another strip of wood as shown and fasten it with a screw. Step 6 Add another strip of wood as shown and fasten with a screw. Basically just working on the star shape. Green Curved Line

Step 6 Add the last piece and fasten to the top right point. You may need a longer screw to fasten this last piece. There will be a slight gap. As shown below. Do not overtighten.

Lastly, If you have raw edges that were cut, you can touch them up with stain. I put my star on top of my Christmas tree. Follow me on IG @simplyminedesigns or on my blog www.simplyminedesigns.blog
