A living piece of the forest — right in your garden. IC WOOD Log Planters are real reclaimed timber stumps, cored using our patented Inner Circle Wood mechanical process to create a natural vessel for plants, flowers, succulents, or any garden feature you can imagine. **Genuinely natural.** Every planter is a one-of-a-kind piece of reclaimed timber — bark-on exterior with the authentic texture, grain, and character that no manufactured pot can replicate. Wood that would otherwise be ground to mulch becomes a striking focal point in any garden, patio, or landscape. **Ready to plant.** The cored interior is clean and smooth — drop in a nursery pot, add a liner, or plant directly. The natural wood walls provide excellent insulation for root systems and weather beautifully over time. **Versatile sizing.** Available in 24", 28", and 36" diameters and lengths from 12" to 48" — from a compact tabletop accent to a dramatic statement piece. Mix sizes for a layered, naturalistic garden display. Each log is unique in grain, texture, bark pattern, and character — because real wood IS better, and there is no substitute.

Care & Longevity
Make Your Log Last 2–4x Longer
Two simple steps — sealing the wood and keeping it off the dirt — can extend the life of your hollow log dramatically. IC WOOD strongly recommends both for any outdoor installation.
Seal the wood — it makes a dramatic difference
IC WOOD strongly recommends applying an industrial-grade wood coating or penetrating oil before first outdoor use. A quality sealer — Spar Urethane, Outlast Q8 Log Oil, or Lovitt's P-Wood Preserver — drives water out of the grain and prevents the expansion-contraction cycle that causes checking cracks to deepen over time. Reapply every one to two years. This single step can extend your log's outdoor lifespan 2–4x compared to leaving it untreated.
Keep the log up off the dirt
Direct ground contact is the fastest path to premature decay. Soil holds moisture against the wood continuously, accelerating rot from the bottom up. IC WOOD strongly recommends one of two approaches: set the log in a bed of gravel (4–6 inches deep, extending the full length of the log) so water drains freely beneath it, or install anchors that hold the log just above the ground surface. Either method dramatically reduces moisture exposure at the most vulnerable point of the log.
Annual inspection keeps small issues small
Once a year, inspect the full exterior for rough spots, checking cracks, or areas where the sealer has worn through. Sand any splinters smooth, spot-treat exposed wood with your sealer, and check that the log is still sitting clear of the ground. Five minutes of annual attention prevents the kind of moisture intrusion that turns a small crack into a structural problem.
