Cool Job!
Cool Shed. Need one too. I've got a big poplar that I will probably do the
same with. Thanks for pictures. Duane in VA.

Nice job... I love working with poplar... it works easy in the shop, soft but yet hard enough to build with. Plentiful around here too. Got two on the ground as we speak that need to be sliced up before rot sets in.
Nice little shed.

Nice job on the shed!!! Looks like you've got a bunch of wood to keep that OWB fed for a while. Im hoping to be able to budget in the funds to get one in the next few years. Is yours water or forced air?
its a boiler i think its got 150 gal 180000 btu i heat the house and shop with it water comes thru a radiator and forced air blows across it and the hot water in the winter saves about 20 bucks a month on electric when you shut the water heater off
Good looking shed - and even better that it's full of wood!

Very nice shed, inspiring for the milled wood use that's for sure.
Never been a shed built yet that was big enough. Steve
