Building A Raised Garden Bed From Raw Logs
I got the itch to start a garden space today.
I decided to use some logs from my property instead of using dimensional lumber.
I picked some logs that I cut down earlier while clearing brush, to let some sunlight in.
Sawed off some lengths.
Dragged them to my new garden spot.
Found a Shiny New Beetle under the logs.
I think he came from this oval hole.
Notched the ends.
Looking good.
Notches fit well.
Bolted them together with TimberLok 6 inch bolts.
All tight, and snug. Ready, Set, Plant!
[Take care!]

That looks really nice. I should knock something like that together to go with my split rail fence.

Thank you! I think that would be nice. Let me see your fence if you decide to build one.
That made me think of building a small fence around my tiny garden space with logs.
Interesting woodworking! Will it be out of shapes after a few days?
No, the logs are seasoned. They should stay just as they are. The long lag bolts I used to join the logs should also hold them where they are.
