    I am new to the FWHC and just thought I would post a pic of the firewood box I built last year. It holds about three days worth of wood and keeps the wife from having to go outside in the cold! Lol[​IMG]
    Does anyone else have a setup like this? Would love to see some pics.

    Welcome Aframe. I like that box a lot. It has a nice rustic look to it.

    I made one a few years ago repurposed from an old oak bureau. I used the side plate from my dads' 1976 Jotul 602 for the front, and some cast iron cup pulls for the handles. I keep thinking I need to tack some copper around the inside top frame to keep the wood from chipping and let it patina from there.

    My grandfather was a sales rep for smithcorona typewriters. My toy box as a kid was a wooden typewriter shipping crate ( still in my parents attic) and our Woodbox was another one.
    We have one of those metal rings for wood. It holds one days worth for us. b114cbd7-32e8-4b60-900a-4d20a127352b_145.jpg
    It folds flat for storage in the Summer (front to back)
