Living Wagon Build

[gobbypunk]

So I should be getting a big old trailer base to build a living wagon on I have some 3x2 CLS for some of the framing but not enough but I should have some Coast Redwood left over from a cladding job ,now I gave  never built a wagon before so the only question I have is can I use green timber for the framing or will it move too much ,its not going to be your run of the mill thing its going to look like it just came from a Mad Max film on the outside got parts of a 1950's bus to use , but real nice inside once done it will be for sale I will take photos along the way ,wish me luck as I prob will need it

Coastal redwood is a very fast drying timber, and very stable.  It certainly won't move like oak or most UK hardwoods.  But of course you will still have to expect some movement as it dries. 

 

Personally I think coastal redwoood is very beautiful - maybe a nice feature, or will it not be on show?

Some will be on show and if I have enough I may clad some of the walls inside ,I want it to mainly built with reused / reclaimed materials
