This certainly is not a planter since it is a natural wood form, but I use it as a planter and it is home to one of my more rare staghorn ferns.
I don't have a clue what the wood is but think that it is at least 100 years old. A neighbor gave it to me and said her husband brought it in one day, about 30 years ago, and said for her to do something with it. She said she always planned on using it for something but it has just been in her backyard all those years, unused. This piece of wood has weathered so long that it has hollowed out, the wood is as hard as a rock, and the edges are knife-edged. I have sealed the wood with chemical cured epoxy to show the color, texture, and beauty of the wood.
