Larch waney-edge cladding with Small Log Mill

[Rhob the Log]

Sorry RD, waiting on more Larch at the moment and lots of dressing of old, weatherbeaten boards before it looks anywhere approaching envious. Give me a few weeks! There is a taster pic up in the 'pics and vids of milling' thread if you can't wait...

For RD. I am shed building at the moment. I wanted to use larch for cladding but the budget didn't stretch that far.

 

Hope this helps with your shed addiction....

It's not a solar panel just a roof-light, made with the twin-wall stuff used on conservatory roofs (ripped off by the wind in a storm).

 

RD this one is for her, potting shed!

 

I do have one of my own though:

Here you go RD. The (half)finished article. Dressed the board underneath yesterday and gave everything a light sanding. Still lots to do, that window for one... It's not a great build, but hey, cost some fuel and my time. Keeps the rain off my kit

Looks great to me:thumbup: are you going to treat the boards? Or leave plain?

When I start on mine I will start a post

I acquired 10 sticks of clean pine last week so should be a start:thumbup: cheers rich

Cheers Rich, I avoided the close-ups on the split ends and wavering bottom guide rails. As Muttley said at the beginning, it's best to treat both sides to reduce cupping. Did see an amazing, green painted waney-edge shed on the Gower this weekend though so makes me wonder. Enjoy the Pine - which species out of interest? Look forward to more shed posts!

Scots:thumbdown: but it was free and been Down a year:thumbup:

Is Scots Pine not top dollar then? I would've thought as it's naturalised/native it'd give a better quality wood than introduced Pines. Certainly better than Spruces but not as good as Firs, no?
