Nice. Had a hard time getting those front corners square though, eh? ;-)

Any shelves or racks in the interior?

That's the weirdest looking roof - is your shop some sort of quonset hut?

Looks just like the "Miracle Span" building I built on the farm about 40
years ago.

No shelves or racks... SWMBO didn't want any. Yup quonset hut (sucks).
BTW the finish is tung oil, then shellac (Paddylak).
The front corners were done with a square I dropped BG.

Hah! My thoughts exactly (#1 and 3), Kevin.

Tom: Howdy. Long time no see!

Hi Larry,
A long time, indeed. I hope all has been well with you and yours. (it's good
to "see" so many linger still!)

Heck, we're all malingerers. I'm back after giving the guys a 5 year
break.

Wow, that spalted oak is really striking. Nice job!

There is never a situation where having more rounds is a disadvantage

Blushing Aw shucks, twarn't nuttin'.
I was worried initially about how well the three woods would work together,
so using mineral spirits to temporarily wet pieces it looked like after some
Paddylak it would come together. SWMBO likes it (altho' she would have been
content if it were painted white groan).

Stiking! I'da never guessed Ipe for the molding. I have worked with lots
of Ipe and am not sure I would ever want to tackle turning it into molding.
Spalted oak can really look cool, I have done a few pieces from some
spalted oak out of my fathers front yard trees. It was going to be fire
wood after setting out side for 2 years but I just could not burn it.

Good job!

Thanks, Leon.
I worried about the Ipe too, but it didn't give any major problems.
I made smaller, simpler molding to set in the paneled area, but it looked
too "busy" so I set them aside.
