I'm going to have a local Amish tack shop make me one out of leather. I'll make the rack myself, to match our hearth.

Here is a nice steel/copper tub from Plow and Hearth. It looks really nice on the hearth.

I use a separate canvas log holder to bring in the wood.

I saw those tubs and they do look nice but I'm looking for something more rustic. I like the look of the wrought iron and I'm thinking know more of a black bag that sits in it.
I figured you'd be making one Scotty
I'm not very good with iron work so I'm looking to buy something right now unless I find a nice wooden framed design I could build.
Got another idea, I'm going to try to make a 4-5' tall version of this!!
I got the idea from a guy who made it out of black pipe.

The black pipe looks good but I like the clean look of the painted box iron better.

I built a wooden rack and used it all last winter.
I'm going back to the round galv. wash tub. It helps retain the crap the crap that comes off the wood.
Way too much stuff all over the floor unless the wood is in some kind of container.
No matter how much I cleaned the floor, there was always more every time I brought wood in or took from the rack.

I use a standard hoop, it usually only holds a day's supply at a time, but was really handy when I got pneumonia last winter and had a buddy fill it completely up for my so I didn't have to struggle to carry firewood for the better part of a week.
Hmmmm, yea that's a good point Dave. I'm gonna have to think about this some more.

You can make the base so it collects bark and dirt, I like the pipe one the guy made, Id make it bigger if I make one.

I use a big galvanized tub that I sprayed a hammered black. It's getting dented up real nice for the old rustic look
