That's our local chapter instant gallery theme for next month's meeting. Other than possibly some sort of a weed pot idea, I've not a clue what else might make an appropriate entry. Any ideas??????

A useful tool is called a Garden Dibbler.....very English ol' chap!
maybe a scoop for potting soil
I turned some little wooden mice out of cypress. Not very useful in the garden, but they look cute. Could also do some mushrooms
I've made a bunch of dibbles and gardeners love them. I like to cut grooves every inch for depth measurement. Also sometimes called dibber, dibbler. How about making a set of different sizes, off axis turning for interesting shapes, a matching set made from a variety of woods or decorated differently.
Could also make some strong round stakes with knobs on the top. I use stakes at the corners of garden sections to keep hoses from being pulled over the plants. A knob on the top could let the stake extend less above the ground and keep the hose from slipping off.

I turned some fence post type finials out of 4 by 4 and 6 by 6 cedar ends. Used kind of an oriental style to them. Spheres look good, and a hedge hog or two. Sand blast or wire brush to raise the grain, or just let them sit... Stuck them in corners of raised beds. I guess you could to a hollow form type bird feeder too. Might have to glue up, or use turnings as end caps for thistle seeds. Humming bird feeders?

nice ideas..........thanks for your input everyone.
Bring in the shavings and call it mulch! ;)
Seriously though, how about a bird house?
+1 but make it a pickup bed fullQuote:

If you put "garden stool" into google images, you'll get the idea.
The other Glenn beat me to it. Dibbler was my knee-jerk reaction.
