Christmas Tree stand

[Fritzgerald16]

Has anyone ever used one like this?
I am chopping down a crab apple tree and want to save some of the limbs. If I attached the stand to a larger piece of wood I could easily swap out old chewed up branches for new ones.
Has anyone else tried this before?

Not mine! I should have said I stole that picture off the internet!! I am just trying to help visualize what I'm planning

I have not tried this, but it sounds like a really easy way to make a new tree stand.

The only thing you might want to consider is how you would protect the floor from droppings and flung food and such. You could always use an office mat or a vinyl mat cut to the width/length of the branches you use.

(Is it bad that my first thought when I look at bird stands is: "But where will the poop land?" )

I have not used the stand you showed but it can certainly be done. Ive made a couple of trees this way, but I made my own bases and stands for them.
I had thought of doing this very thing, but went instead with a wider base that I could attach wheels to and also a place to put paper on instead of the floor.
With the way that tree branches out, this idea would work, but like ode to parrots said, you would need to cover areas for poop to land, but I think we all do that lol
