Thread: Building Flower Boxes

Okay so we thought we had an original idea

We had the place logged because Timber prices are through the roof so it made sense
We also had them drop a few dangerous old trees that were too close to the house

The one huge Cedar has a stump that must be at least 5' diameter so we want to make a table out of it

Some of the others we wanted to make into flower planters

Working on the first one closest to the house

First I thoiught it was going to be easy to just cust a hollow with the chain saw Bahahaha boy was I wrong
Next I tried cutting a cross hatch and using an Axe to take out chunks Bahahaha that was not working

I told Shan I might need to buy an Adz or Adze but then I remembered I had a small Pick I bought years ago to clear away roots when we re-built the pump house

So I figured I would at least try a "Proof of Concept" experiment before I spent more money on another tool
I sharpened it up using my Grinder for my Lathe tools

Now to be clear I was using a Wheel so I created a Concave bevel

Started taking out wood row by row, cutting the rows with the chain saw which I sharpened using a File so more concave bevels

Taking my time being safe, but it is progressing slowly, I can't believe how wet the wood is
