Small gift from some guy down the road

[Hills Hoard]

Got home from work Friday night and had just cracked a cold beer when this guy from down the end of my road knocks on my door and says i was about to throw out this wooden box then remembered that i'd seen you processing wood heaps before so i thought i'd drop by and see if you wanted it for split wood.....anyway, I drove down to his house and picked it up. I was only recently telling my wife that I was going to keep an eye out for a wooden box to put just outside the back door on our deck to put ready to burn wood.....

There's something satisfying about a real wooden box like that. I always find a use for them in the yard, or by the kiln

And it appears to be made out of red oak. Should be nice and sturdy for quite some time.

Looks like cedar or something similar to me.
Should knock out the second and fourth boards all around and then you got some air flow through there. Or, you could flip it up on end and stack wood in there and have a decent looking mini shed right next to the front door.
