a window planter box Christmas present for my wife. all the iron is forged including the nails. Thanks to Alair Wells for the nail header and to a smith (whose name I don't remember) who taught me to weld chain links at spring conference 2 1/2 years ago.20181224_224531.jpgImage Enlarger

That's really nice. What type wood did you use for the box?
