Making Planters From Junk

I have been a public school teacher for over twenty years now.  When other teachers retire they get rid of everything they have stored away in their rooms.  Often times this includes odds and ends that are no longer used.  One such math teacher had a great collection of what are called manipulatives, 3D objects that can help students understand abstract concepts.  There are a few different sets with some being made out of plastic (I used a few of those on my homemade spool) and others being wooden.  The latter is what I used for these planters.  After cutting one made of oak in half, I realized the other set was plywood which will be far easier to cut.

The square pieces are divided into a grid of 100 squares while the posts are 10 squares each.The square pieces are divided into a grid of 100 squares while the posts are 10 squares each.
Really simple design that will look great with tall bamboo shoots growing from them.Really simple design that will look great with tall bamboo shoots growing from them.

I set aside one of the plywood squares to cut for the next planters as I think four is a better number.I set aside one of the plywood squares to cut for the next planters as I think four is a better number.
