Plant stand progress
Since I am an old goat and am self isolating it gives me time to do some honey dos. I have started 2 plant holders for larger flower pots. They are made from 4x4 cedar fence posts and cedar fence boards. I have one put together and the other pieces cut and posts mortised.
I need to stain but of course need more stain, which I thought I had to match a previous larger one I had made. Don’t feel real secure going to a big box store to get matching stains. Too many people I don’t feel comfortable around due to my age and prior cancers, etc.

Re: Plant stand progress
How about ordering the stain online? Here in Central Ohio, most Amazon deliveries are next day.
Speaking of which, I hear that they are handing out raises and hiring like crazy, to deal with the increased demand from coronavirus isolation.

I looked at that but decided that I would go to a big box store in a local suburb an hour before closing. It was almost deserted, got in and out with little social interaction.
Re: Plant stand progress
Very nice. Did you mill the caps too?
Re: Plant stand progress
Yes, made them out of the fence boards.
Re: Plant stand progress - Finished at last
Here is a photo of one of the two plant stands after staining. Both are finished and stained. The color palette was wife’s choice.

Unless she changes her mind.
