We were in need of a trash receptacle in our family room. I found a nice sized plant pot that I could reuse as a trash container. I wanted to make a wood turned wrapper around this plastic pot. What made this project complicated was its size. It had to be big enough to completely encase the plant pot. I made the project in three sections: two sections for the body of the wrapper that covers the pot and a third section that is a rim at the top that holds the plant pot in. The rim is also shaped so that it is removable and laps the inner edge of the plant pot so things that are thrown into the container don't get stuck between the pot and the woodturned wrapper. The inside did not need to be pretty. It just had to fit the plant pot. I spent time making the outside of the trash can beautiful. I made a section of the outside with a chaotic segmented pattern made from scrap wood I found around the wood shop. I like the metaphor of trash on the outside and trash on the inside.
