A garden dibber for seed, bulb, and seedling planting. We tested our dibber in our Northeast Pennsylvania clay and rocky soil, and it performed beautifully.
- Hard maple for durability
- Protected by multiple coats of a durable outdoor finish
- Handle design fits comfortably in your hand
- 11-1/4" long by 1-1/2" in diameter at the thickest part of the handle
- 1 inch gradations
- Two dibbers with some garden twine make great garden markers
After several iterations hand carving dibbers with ergonomic angles that ended up not being very easy to use, I moved to my mid-sized lathe to turn an old-fashioned straight dibber. I took some maple spindles I had lying around, cut them to size, and started turning free hand. The pointed end was the easy part. It was the handle that took a few tries. On my fifth attempt, I was not so much determined as I was stubborn, and with four dibbers of experience under my belt on the fifth try it just looked right. At least I love the way it looks. Hope you do as well.
Two standard finish options are either tung oil or unfinished. Custom finishes upon request.
