Easter Basket Plant Pot Bowl

Posted in My Projects, Woodturning on Mar 24, 2008

Yesterday, in celebration of Easter, I made, what I’m calling, an Easter Basket Plant Pot Bowl:

The bowl is made of Maple with a band of Padauk running around its center. It’s approximately 4″ tall and 6″ in diameter. Because it is to be used as a flower pot I made the walls a bit thicker than I normally would, at about 1/2″.


Here is a photo of the three pieces of wood cut in circles:

And here they are stacked:

This one shows the outside turned and the bottom spigot:

This one is a good shot showing the shape of the bowl. The matching shape was also turned inside the bowl:

And this one shows the bowl with a plant installed:

Note the combination of Easter Eggs and Christmas Cactus. This is a very versatile flower pot – it’s great for ALL occasions! :)
