Pics of Cedar planters I just built for my Spa

[Hillbilly Hot Tub]

That is absolutly beautiful! If you are not careful, you may get those of us in the spa industry hounding you to purchase these to resell I love wood and all that you can do with it. I hate that so many spas are going to just sythetic cabinets. A synthetic cabinet would not have looked as nice in your pegoda!

Totally awsome job!!!

How do you access the pumps in the spa?

DOOHHH! I knew I forgot about something!   JK  If you look right below the front pergola post you will see the line where the left and right steps split apart. So I just pull the steps out if I need to access the pumps. The post goes all the way to the decking (steps wrap around it).

Don’t know for sure… I know they are red though.  My sweetheart is the gardener, I am just the laborer...

Very nice Northwoods. What happened to your spa model?

She is the Gardener. She didn't want to get her bikini soiled so she planted in the nude. I can post pictures if anyone is interested...

Nice oak leaf detail.  You buy one of those little Craftsman CNC mills?

Actually, try a $175,00 Komo CNC Router. But I have been wondering how those little Craftsman things would work.  They look neat. I would expect for small 3d carving they would work great. But they are very limited in size and capability.

That's what I was thinking! Amazing craftsmanship! Pretty good for your first attempt at woodwork!  

Baby even the losers... get lucky sometimes.

Well, you certainly threw enough tool at the job.  

I think I'll go intarsia.

Beautiful work! I'm envious!!

I like the idea and look of intarsia.  Just make sure you use wood species that can take the weather.
