How about some pictures of Wood Boxes

Not so much a box as a ring....

My wife bought me this for Christmas last year. Super cool, imo. It was hand forged by a local blacksmith. It holds about 2 average days of wood.

I have that exact same ring, you sure a local guy did it? I think I bough mine at Lowes or somewhere like that.

Been using this for many years.

We use one just like that. My mother bought it somewhere and gave it to us a few years ago. It is nice hold about two stove loads in it and holds the mess. It just made it into the picture below.

Sweeeeet.

Built out of scrap tongue and groove pine boards I had left over.

Has a plastic bin -- originally to contain any water that would come off the snow or ice as my wood was under tarps in Year One. Now the plastic tote helps contain the dirt, bark, mess that comes off the wood.

A separate side allows me to store my kindling, paper, lighter, Super Cedars, etc.

Hooks are on the side for my gloves, flashlight, IR thermometer, etc.

Nice!

Ooops. Didn't know when I quoted it would duplicate the pictures. Sorry. Try to take them out.

I just been fillin' up the hearth extension to just under the level of the door's swing--anyone thing this is an issue? The wood barely changes temp.

Embers would be the only thing to be concerned about. Speaking for myself, I make quite a mess on a daily basis.
Pine is another. Warm it up, and it'll ooze pitch on the nice tile.

Flatbed, I think it is a duplicate!

I had nothing better to do today so I finally got around to building my wood box.

Are those eco bricks underneath the box?

And a stack of encyclopedias next to it?!
(I have a bunch of those in the shed that the previous owners left... hmmmm... eco books?!)

Right now I'm just using a black plastic tub but I keep going to the local auction waiting for a nice interesting box. They always have steamer chests but we want something a little more contemporary.

Not to high jack a post, but Duck, those are some big splits in that 27. I have a T5 and burn quite a bit smaller wood, does it handle that size just fine?

Crate we receive blast cabinet window glasses in.... Sanded a bit...perfect for splits and kindlin'

The only pic I have of mine was when I was working on my kin'lin stash. It is a Vermont Castings. I wanted to go bigger but the wife vetoed it.

Where can I get one of these?

Where can I get one of these?

It has been discontinued. Might find one on ebay or craigslist.

Nice.....looks like something out of a magazine

Not fancy, this is a scrounged box I was going to take apart for the plywood, but thanks to this thread I had the idea to make a wood box out of it. After the burning season I think I'll stain it to mach the trim of the room and save the JD emblem in the process.

Here is my setup: 45 pounds of mig-welded 3/4" steel bar. Should outlast my grandchildren's grandchildren!

Bought this a few years ago. Doesn't hold a huge volume of wood, but I love the sturdiness!

And here it is with the hearth included in the shot:

My wood holder looks a lot like Duckdogs' ring. I got mine at a yard sale. It is slightly broken but with wood in it it is stable. It allows good airflow so that the wood dries, but it doesn't hold any of the dirt or bits of bark that fall off. This would be a mess on a carpet, but on the tile floor it isn't a big deal to vacuum up the mess.

I like this. Unique. Sturdy. I love sturdy!!
