Vintage looking wheelbarrow planter

Recommended Posts

Mostly cut on scrollsaw; but I used the table saw and the chop/cut-off saw also. It was made from salvage weathered

wood for the vintage look.

 

A lot of try-fail-re-try- fail- try again was involved to get it decent!

 

My daughter-in-law wants it as a Christmas present for one of her friends. They like antiques and very vintage decor!

 

The sides had to be cut from 2 different directions. The wheel is made in pieces. They are laid out on a 90 degree from each other, glued and nailed together, then the circle is laid out and cut with the scrollsaw. Then I fix "pilot arrors" with the belt sander.

 

The unit was then lightly torched foran aging effect!
