Wood Box.

I came across this old sketch of a muti-purpose box the other day and realized it was time to take a shot at making one.  Some hang-a-round scrap Cedar wood strips are going to be used in a stacked manner, growing each level by 5/16".

Stacking the entire structure I hope will create texture that I hope will compliment any plants that may end up in the box and it has a more lively feeling to it.  Other perks to using cedar is its naturally rot resistance and for me has a great smell.

I should also mention that my idea here was inspired by a 'recycled can plant pot' made by a friend, thanks Susana!  I liked the idea of reusing but especially because of the simple covering treatments.  So thinking about plant storage sent me in the direction of a storage container of my own.  The resulting sketch above is a home for a Jade plant and a stereo speaker.

After the break, a section drawing and a couple photos of the creation process....

The game plan.  Cubbies are big enough for 4x6 prints.  

A rough idea for the split upper level
