Red Oak replica of Frank Lloyd Wright planter from Robie House in Chicago,

  • Media owner Karl Koch
  • Date added
Built blank from red oak lumber, 15" on a side(approx 21" corner to corner), originals were cast concrete and as large as 60" on a side, Fumed, dyed, carved, ebonized, and finished with spar varnish, The original wright design did not have the carved decorations, This is just a scale model as I hope to make the next one twice as large.
@odie You are very kind. I am somewhat of a FLW nerd and so this was a labor of love for me...and also a bit of a stretch for my skill and experience levels.
