Just getting started on the late fall craft show inventory. Found some interesting designs online and decided to try them out. Will get to making better versions of these when I can utilize specifically cut wood selections rather than just what's in the 'remains' piles.

 

The usual culprits - walnut, maple, mesquite, alder and white oak. The white oak was recovered from a JD barrel planter that was retired and replaced.

 

'Bout time I actually posted something rather than just click on an emoji or make a smart - @&% remark! 

WOW!!!!

 

Great looking remains. I love that rim treatment , as many RM as I have seen that is a first for me.

Thanx, Gerald.

 

I got tired of the simple straight sides and cutting off a usable portion of the blank for the first ring so I tried something new. After cutting/drilling the blank I square up the edge on the RM and then run a small trim router around each side. I use either a 45* chamfer or 1/4" roundover bit. Gives them a pretty nice look.

 

You know me. Just gotta do something different!

Love them all. Hard to choose a favorite among the offerings, but if forced to, it would be second from left, back row in first picture which I think it big pictures 3 & 4. Regardless, they all are amazingly unique.

I did not know John Deere made barrel planters

Part of the "go organic" movement. Plant your own gun barrels. Seeds available for most gauges.

I did something similar using a leftover top cut off. Cut the top ring in a hex shape and saved throwing out good wood. But I like yours better
