To make the top, first, glue the two 24? tops with wood glue and set heavy books on top so they stay put and bond together. Allow to dry about 2 hours. Coat the wood circle sides and top with two thin layers of joint compound. It?s helpful to do this on a prop of some kind. Sand between coats and after second coat dries sand again to create a mostly smooth surface. I left mine imperfectly smooth on top because I liked the texture. Â

after sanding:
Once dry, mark the underside of the wood circles with the location of the pedestal in the center for attaching in the future.
To attach the planters together use a bonding glue designed for plastic (see link above). Allow to dry a few hours then use more joint compound to...
