Construct the central seed core using a clear acrylic cylinder encased in a CNC-routed mahogany frame. This allows for high-capacity seed storage while maintaining structural integrity for the surrounding orbital rings.

Fabricate three concentric rings from laminated bent plywood, varying in diameter to simulate an orbital path. Each ring is sanded to a smooth finish and treated with a marine-grade sealant for all-weather outdoor durability.

Attach the rings to the central core using high-tensile stainless steel aircraft cables that are tension-fitted to allow for subtle movement in the wind. This creates a mesmerizing, kinetic visual effect that mimics a planetary system.

Install an integrated, gravity-fed copper dish at the base of the cylinder to catch falling seeds and provide a landing platform. Final adjustments ensure perfect balance and ease of refill for the homeowner.
