smitty0312 Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) After making the 2ft sunflowers, someone asked for a smaller version, these are just 101/2" in diameter, constructed the same as the 2ft ones except I had to plane down a board to 3/8" to cut out the brown centers otherwise it would of looked too chunky.......green leaves are 1/4" luan......spray can paint for all...... I think they brighten my yard up some..... comments always welcome.

JOE_M Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 I like them in both sizes. Have you considered a stand-alone model with a slightly curved stem? Maybe something out of cedar or redwood that could be jammed into the ground. smitty0312 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
