since Sunday was too windy/chilly to spend tidying up out in the garden, I spent the morning in the greenhouse with some scrap lumber, a power drill, a few discarded wooden dowels and my cedar circle.

The cedar circle is a thin, narrow piece of cedar left over from the bench rebuild. Last summer, I soaked the scrap cedar in one of the water barrels for a few days until the cedar was pliable enough to bend and clamp into a circle.

It was a good day to put it all together, here's what I came up with when I got finished fiddling around:

The upright pieces are drilled about a half inch deep to accept/position the dowels.

The circle fit nicely within the space, and is dressed up with a little wind chime.

Really looking forward to Veilchenblau in bloom this summer.

What project are you working on?
