Joseph Joel's Outdoor Raised Planter

Ive built this planter more times than i can count, utilizing different finishes and paints.depending on the client. The design was key in learning how to assess costs and develop an assembly line production flow utilizing the tools i already had. That said, truly not a design to build when time is limited, for me anyway. But from a personal taste side of things, its a favorite.

My favorite finish hands down was the Brown KIWI shoe polish i i used on the last build i did.Shoe polish, who knew it wasnt just for shoes.

I am looking for something that I can add-on to a set of deck top benches that I am going to build and your planters look like they would be perfect with a few changes.

Comment by John Blanke on October 8, 2015 at 9:06pm: Are you talking about Kiwi paste shoe polish in the can? What color shoe polish do you use and how do you apply it? Beautiful finish!!

Comment by joseph joel on August 3, 2015 at 8:32pm: @Don Foley Thanks Don, I appreciate the compliment. And i'm glad to pass the shoe polish tip on...if u ever use it on one of your projects, send me a link, i would like to see how it comes out.
