Custom Project: The Poetry (Poet Tree) Box

 A Custom Project Somewhere in My Neighbourhood

The Old One is Tired, a New One Will Be Up Soon

The New One: A similar design, but with cedar trim added

Introduction:

To protect peoples' privacy I won't tell you exactly where this project is situated (other than in My Neighbourhood aka Canada), but the original 'Poetry Box' (aka 'Poet Tree' Box) is still up, and functioning well, but looking just a bit tired around the roof line. So, though it may be 8 - 10 years old, most of the lumber is holding up well.

Good to know, because if the new model lasts as long then I likely won't have to replace it until 2035. 

Note to Self: Start setting aside proper pieces of solid pine, and a bit of cedar trim, this month (Jan. 2026) before you forget.

"Wha-? What was that?"

I'm cleaning up my Foto Files again (yup, up to 17,000+) so I will likely find a few more ancient pictures/projects from 'the shop' aka 'the shed'. And I still sign up for a few custom projects per year and there always seems to be a camera handy.
