Great build. One thing I would recommend for an indoor planter, especially in this application is to coat the inside with drylock sealer. Excess water will seep into the concrete, and into the rug. This type of plant requires little water but it's an additional worthwhile step.

putting a wire brush on a drill or simply wire brushing the pine will bring out an amazing amount of wood grain, I used this technique on a table I made and the results were fantastic and simple to achieve

In addition to just a wire brush, if you have a propane torch, you can char the surface of the wood, and *then* brush it. The growth rings of the tree differ in density depending on when in the season they are formed (earlywood vs latewood) and the torch will burn away more of the less-dense earlywood, so when you brush to remove the charred portion, the varying depths achieved accentuate the grain. The whole process can be done with just a brush and no torch, but the torch just makes it easier and quicker.

I thought of your video while working on a project yesterday. I had recycled some old composite boards into form boards for a little concrete project. Like most composite boards, these had a wood grain finish on one face and smooth on the other. They also released from the concrete very easily without any additional treatment.

Just after typing the comment, a “Build Show” video came up on the topic. Obviously a different scale of project, but also great info. They also love the wood grain texture in poured concrete, and commented they found Doug-Fir to have the best graining. They also sand blasted the wood to really accentuate the grain. Reminded me of a pale version of shou sugi ban. Glad to help.

there is a technic we use in woodworking to bring the grain out, "water and a torch" basically the tab wet the surface of the board and then you use a torch to charcoal the boards the you can clean the chard boards or sand them all depend how much of the grains you want to show.

Try using an electric orbital sander with a bare pad on the outside mold to knock out the the air bubbles. Quicker, less effort, more efficient than that rubber mallet. Good job.

I’ve been trying to figure out ways to get more pronounced wood grain. I think next time, I’m going to try and create artificial grain just by etching lines into the boards using a screw driver or something similar. Also, I read somewhere that wetting the wood and letting it dry out will bring out the grain as well.

A 60# bag of concrete mix makes 0.45 cubic feet of concrete. I’m guessing the planter shown was less than one bag of mix. To calculate the volume you would need, first measure then multiply the inner length, width and depth of your outer box. Next, measure then multiply the outer length, width and depth of your inner box. Then subtract the inner from the outer and divide by 1,728 to convert from cubic inches to cubic feet. Good luck.
