2 Planters

[DWSudekum]

This mug is actually a planter there are a series of 3 holes at the bottom. The wood used was Mahogany and sealed with spar urethane.

This other one is a planter holder and was an experiment. The woods used are pin and poplar. I used Minwax PolyShades Antique Walnut - Satin polyurethane to stain and seal the holder.

Nice looking planters DW. I really like the look of the second one, how did you do it?

You beat me to it, Dan. DW, how did you do it?

The second one is really easy it just looks hard. For that one I used a 3/4" thick 6"x6" board then cut a bunch of 5/16" thick 3/8" wide strips and then glued one strip every 3/8" on one side of the board. I cut the rings with the strips down on the table. when I glued them together I rotated about 1/4 of a full rotation for each ring. Sanding and glue control are difficult and time consuming but I kind of like the result.

I'm going to have to read the instructions a bit slower and after I have a cup of coffee in the morning..... but they both look like real sweeeet projects. Kudos!
