These are made all from scrap wood from Past Projects restoring the SEAL ♡ No plans for them which made it fun. I wanted a raised proud bow and with a Beautiful wooden boat next to me called the Caribou it made me glad I didnt settle for basic flower box as I had originally planned. The bow stem(s) are sheeted in Oak from the Ribs on the SEAL and the hulls I made from old pieces of patterns and the base from wood we walked on for 2 years. They are built with Stainless Steel Nails and Gorilla Glue 50 bar clamps and my Love for the SEAL, and where I live here in Aurora Harbor ♡ They are designed to fit Exactly on top of the Big Wooden Cleats with the drain holes positioned on both sides of it. I coated the insides with Epoxy Resin and outside. The top trim I am leaving bright and the hull I am painting "pirate green" and the thin piece under the top rail I am painting black (colors of the SEAL) I still have to coat the bottoms tonight then it will be another 24 hours before that cures. So they cant get painted until next week ♡ I am planting Burpee Exclusive: "Evening Scentsation Petunias" in them over flowing with a couple big Burpee Exclusive: "Purple Coral Celosia's" one in each compartment surrounded by the nice blue Scentsations overflowing down to the dock ♡
