SWMBO wanted some planters for one of her flower gardens so she could dedicate some space for herbs. Right now she has herbs here, there, wherever she finds a spot.
So, I made these this weekend. I went with simple "corner block" construction, glued and screwed since they are going to be filled with dirt. The blocks will disappear once they are filled.
I thought I had a bit to rout the grooves, but it turned out I didn't. Instead of running back out to buy one, I ripped the boards, chamfered the edges and glued them back together.
I'd be interested to hear about *easy* options for finishing to keep the cedar looking new for as long as possible. I don't plan to do maintenance every year, but if I can keep them looking fresh for a while, I'd give it a shot.
