Here's some pics of my latest project:






It doesn't look like much, but it was one of the hardest things I've made because of the unusual shape of the stairway walls. It seems to be working pretty good so far, but of course there's always things I would do differently.

At least I don't have to see this face when I leave and there's not a spot in the carpet where Boba is trying to dig...

Here are some planters I made about a year and half ago. I made the long thin first since I wanted to plant some bamboo and have it run along the patio, but I didn't want to take up much space. It's about 6 feet long and maybe 8 inches wide.



Here's a recent picture of it with the bamboo grown in:


It starts out green like the culm in the background and gradually darkens until it's nearly black in a year or so.

I took this picture of Boba sunbathing, but you can also see one of the square planters I made for a couple of red Japanese Maples in the background. I'll have to take better pictures when they bloom in the spring.


I think I found out why this one lost its leaves earlier than normal...


Steph and I went shopping at South Coast Plaza earlier this year and it happened to be the same weekend of the garden show when it's full of Orchids and other plants. I saw a planter that I really liked and it's inspired me to make one like it. I also want to make some other things too, so I guess a mitre saw is next on the list of things to buy.
