Yep.... They were turned but you should see the size of the copper wire it took to bend the handrails around to fit....LOL

One thing for certain...wind won't blow it off no table. 
So how long before you take it out of the form?

It will be Friday when I pop it out of the form....I'm sure I'll have some smoothing out to do but I'll post pics just how it comes our of the form....I might even shoot a video.
60 lbs will be empty....I may turn the monkey pole it sits on into a turn-table.....I need another project to figure out.

It turned out great, if I say so myself....
I just couldn't wait till tomorrow....I figured from what I have read 3 1/2 days was enough cure time....I do have it sitting in the shade covered with wet towels. So here it is fresh out of the form. The inside form was a little tuff to get out but overall it came out nice....I think I will smooth it out some and maybe stain it a dark charcoal grey.

Nice.
3.5 days is enough to strip the forms but not nearly cured yet. You need a month almost to hit optimal curing. Keep it hydrated until then!

Drain holes seem a bit large but great job. Keep the updates coming!

Is leaching a concern?

glad you did it today the suspense was getting to me lol , good job looks good .

I'll coat the inside so leaching should not be a problem. I will wait a week before slip potting the juniper into it. Still got to figure out how to make the monkey pole it sits on into a turn-table.

I finally got around to finishing the pot....I stained the outside and sprayed the inside with plastic-dip...Now I just got to get the juniper into it's new home.
