Hello,

The faucet on this project looks almost real but it is pure wood, carved with your CarveWright machine!

This wall planter is sure to add a touch of charm to your space, with it’s clean design allowing the wooden faucet to be featured as the main focal point. The integrated box container can be filled with anything you like, but “seasonal-themed” silk plants or flowers to match your indoor seasonal decor can be a great start.

The overall dimensions are 7.125" wide x 7.25" deep x 16.75" tall.

Main items you will need:
1) The Project Files (included):
• Spigot.mpc
• Back_Panel_and_Parts.mpc
• Box_Side_Panels.mpc
• Box_Front-and-Bottom.mpc

2) Boards with the following dimensions:
Spigot: 0.75" x 11" x 13"
Back Panel and Parts: 0.75" x 11" x 24"
Box Side Panels: 0.75" x 9" x 21"
Box Front and Bottom: 0.75" x 7" x 21"

Do not use boards that are smaller than specified above unless using an appropriate jig. Larger boards are fine in all cases.

3) 0.125" dowels, sandpaper, clamps, wood glue, epoxy, stain and/or paint and clear finish

4) A Dremel-type rotary tool with assorted sanding wheels and bits to sand small details and speed up preparation for finishing.

Apply your choice of finish.
Here’s what I used:

Spigot and Escutcheon Assembly:
• Left natural with several coats of spray Shellac

Faucet Handle:
• Rust Oleum Ultimate Stain - Traditional Cherry

Wall Box Assembly:
• Rust Oleum Ultimate Stain - Wheat

• Several coats Krylon Clear Acrylic spray overall

Now that is an intriguing project Michael. I thought it was going to be hard to top the Candle Centerpiece but I think you did it with this one.

Thank you all very much!

I had the thought of carving out numerous wooden faucets stained different shades and arrange/mount them on a vertical post or a wooden spiral "thing-a-ma-jig" to create a sort of "Faucet Art Sculpture". Maybe even just mounting a bunch of them on a wood plaque as a wall sculpture (could even make a crazy faucet clock, too). Maybe someone as nutty as I am will create an "art sculpture"!

Yes, all Projects of the Month created from 2007 to the present are compatible with Designer 1.187.

FYI, there are some logos that we recently started placing on items that indicate compatibility and/or requirements.

NOTE: Existing projects for sale in the CW Pattern/Projects Depot posted prior to October 2014 will not get a new graphic, but it will be common knowledge that they are 1.187 compatible. See the attached graphic. At the present time, there is no logo to indicate that whether a project is a "Deep Carve" project or "V-Carve", but I don't think any deep carve or v-carve projects have been posted yet anyway. Which reminds me...I need to get busy with those!!

If you haven't received the pattern it is probably because your subscription has run out. I know because that has happened to me several times. :)
