*Tools*

Saw

Clamps

Wood Drill Bits for Hollowing

Sander.....and SandPaper

Planer - if you have one (not Necessary.)

Step 1: SLice & STicK

Simple part-

Slice the wood into 3 pieces. Depending on how big you want your planters. you can have the middle piece bigger or smaller then the sandwich pieces.

Sand them down if needed. They need to be 100% flat before glueing.

Use plentyyyyy of wood glue need to completley cover the sides, then clamp as tight as possible.

Step 2: StrAIGHTEN THe EDGes

Cut off the excess bits to keep the edges straight.

Now the experimental part comes in. You want to saw so the 4 sides become 6 sides. So from rectangle to a 6-sided polygon. Get the bottom sides smaller then the upper parts.... doesn't have to be exact..

Step 3: MaKE a TraIN/ Line

Cut the long piece into little sections. Do this at an angle to get a good effect.

Step 4: HoLE for POt

Drill a hole the size of the pot your putting in it.

STuff the pot in... Don't be afraid to cut the pot up.

Step 5: TeAK OiL & VaRNisH

If you use the same material for the planter, then varnish the middle part with a darker colour to give the sandwiched effect.

Then using a cloth rub Teak Oil all over the wood. If your using 2x different materials already just teak Oil it. This will bring out the colour and the grain.
