A pedestal for a sundial or flower vase is shown by [Figs. 38] to [40]. It is a box of 1-in. elm boards, the top being a 2-in. thick slab. Suitable dimensions are 3 ft. 6 in. high, and 1 ft. square, the top being 16 in. square.
Fig. 41.—Rustic Flower-pot Stand in Imitation of Bamboo.
A design for a rustic flower-pot stand in imitation of bamboo is represented by [Fig. 41]. The height should be about 2 ft. 6 in. to the top, and the length from 3 ft. to 3 ft. 6 in. The box at the top may be about 9 in. wide and 8 in. deep. Care must be taken when putting the work together to get the frames true and square. Slovenliness in construction will completely spoil the appearance of the finished article. The box at the top is made to fit inside, and should be lined with a zinc tray. The outside may be covered with glue and brown sawdust.
