Wooden Christmas trees: 10 Models for an eco-friendly choice to suit all tastes
Real or faux Christmas tree this year? The real ones have an incredible look and scent, truly tied to the idea of a traditional Christmas. However, if we buy one every year, it not exactly eco-friendly. So, is an artificial one better? The answer could be yes - if you invest in a tree that you use for many years and is made of materials as eco-friendly as possible... And so a tree made entirely of wood could be one you consider getting.
Wood trees are beautiful, original, and can be reused a thousand times. Plus, wood is a bio-degradable material, so when it comes time to throw a tree away, the environmental impact is significantly reduced.
Wooden Stick Christmas Trees

These trees have been around for some time now, but they never cease to fascinate: Christmas trees made of round wooden sticks (dowels). The shape of the tree is unmistakable, and when we fill them with decorations and lights, you don't even notice that they don't have pine needles. On the contrary, this modern look is even better!
Others are made with wooden sticks, that are square or rectangular. A more angular look, but no less captivating. The type of wood used also affects the final appearance, and you can choose from various types and stick sizes!

Just like traditional-looking trees, these with sticks rotated around a central axis can also be ideal as smaller decorations to be placed on a shelf or on furniture tops!
Drift Wood for the Christmas Tree
Are you a lover of drift wood? Well, trees are can also be made using this wood! They are always unique if you have a way to collect the drift wood (always paying attention to local regulations, of course!), it's not difficult to make one with your own hands!
The Wooden Spiral
Sometimes trees with "branches" made of sticks arranged around a single axis are designed to be modeled as wished. The moveable sticks can be arranged in a staggered, irregular way, emulating real trees, or; to create a spiral with curved lines like the one you see in the photo. And, of course, they can always be decorated however you like!
With wood, you can create real sculptures, and each tree can become a work of art!
A Fantastical-Looking Tree
Imagine the drawings of children that they make of trees: this tree looks something like these doodles - a bit stylized and adorably whimsical!
Minimal Design
Don't want to take up much space? Then why not opt for minimal design trees like these? They are also easy to make by hand for those who want to try a bit of DIY.
Little Trees for Every Corner of the House
If you're not convinced about the idea of replacing a traditional tree, or you're looking for objects to decorate other corners of the house (or office), then why not opt for multiple all-wooden miniature trees? A group of these tiny trees will be very cute and original!
Even with small ones like these - and if their design allows for it - you can have fun decorating them with hanging ornaments!
