Well, my wife and I just had a new patio added to the front of our house, so of course we needed new planter boxes!! (I didn’t do the patio myself…don’t have that skill…yet!)
Since I am a novice, I began to panic a bit after thinking aromatic cedar was only for inside projects (blanket chests etc..) and other types of cedar were for outdoor projects. Well, thanks to the forum page, my mind was put to ease and I followed their advice using several coats of spar varnish. The planters were moved outside to the patio and thank you to my fellow LJ’s who helped me by sharing their knowledge and experience!

These look great! Nice job. The aromatic cedar looks great inside or out, and the spar varnish should keep it from graying for a few years.

Really nice planters, just like the ones I have to make for my S/O. She’s been after me for 3 years now to make her some.
