this looks great, I wonder if the same could be achieved by using wood to have a more permanent mold. I might give this a try one day. But it does seem like a lot of work. Congrats on the job.
Hi Stefaan! Wood mold definitely works, with some added "work", the removal of the mold can be a bit more difficult. Also the finish of the concrete will emulate that of the wood. I tried this with MDF and got quite good results, but making the mold took a long time - and I quite like trying different "designs" so styrofoam has been easy to play around with =)!
Hi Jim! Sorry, I actually dont (have forgotten the dimensions for these). The goal has been to show the technique for making them. There is a huge XL size viatnamese style pot in the making tho (for a 50y old beautiful ficus) - I will make sure to include exact dimensions for everything in it!
Beautiful design!
