How they are Made
Chainsaw carved train planters start with solid logs or large wood blocks. Here’s a peek into the process:
• Rough Cutting: Using chainsaws, we carve the basic train shape engine, cars, and wheels.
• Detailing: Smaller chainsaw attachments or carving tools create finer details like ridges, smokestacks, faces, or logos.
• Hollowing Planters: Each car is carved to hold soil and plants, with appropriate drainage depending on the intended location.
• Sanding and Finishing: Every piece is carefully smoothed, stained or painted, and sealed to withstand the outdoor elements.
These planters can be left natural for a rustic look or treated with paint and decorative elements to match your outdoor theme.
