SUPER RUSTIC GARDEN OBELISK

Very nice! Its a great feeling to be able to create and make something out of the material around you. I’m sure your mother loves it because it was made with love.

Thanks! I haven’t given it to her yet. Tomorrow is her birthday. ;) I am cheap. I don’t like to buy wood if I can avoid it. These locusts were sprouting up on the perimeter of my yard, and I have been meaning to cut them, so today I killed two birds with one stone. :)

Tough call on the smells Jamie. And for the record, I am also a Gemini mother! My mother loves her flower gardens and she will have this one all trellised up in a jiffy. I am thinking of making a nice generic pergola type thing down by the river. I have given up on the idea of ever getting any help to do it, so I figure I just might go cut some smaller poplar and make it a super rustic pergola ala kelly. What the heck. It can’t be worse than the one I have now (NONE.) LOL

Sheila- YOU are the woman of action. I am the woman of INactivity. LOL

Christine- I have some ideas for some river stuff that I can build- but after this one I have concluded that sometimes crappy joinery (nails/screws) is good enough. So I think for my outdoor building adventures I am just going to wing it and so be it! :)

Very nice design.

Nice to see you back. I have collected a bunch of rustic material, but never got anything done with it. Nice project idea for it.
