Whew! You had me for the first couple of pictures, then I knew you pulling our leg. Some people can make art out of anything, can't they?
Bored this winter? See what my husband and I did this weekend

Post #2...that's the kind of firewood pile my DH would like to have. 
A firewood tower of Babel! How on earth did they get it that high?

That is a clearer picture of the cordwood building than I've found on the internet.
One can imagine it as a guest cabin at some 2nd home on a lake.
People driving by just see a pile of firewood during all the time that no one is using it.

Edited: Okay, I'm wrong!
Here is a whole series of photo's of that building with interior shots. Could be, the guy's wife sends him to the woodshed to play his music. Click on the picture to see more!

A problem that I never considered until recently is moisture penetration to the endgrain. Jomoncon talked a little about that when I was imagining some building idea on TEG.
There are probably some very suitable woods for something like this, like black locust. I don't know if I'd want to cut too many rounds of that with my chainsaw, however.
On the little building, laying poles across the roof seems problematic to me also but maybe it isn't. Probably depends a lot on what is under those poles.

That was fun being able to visit the interior of that little office! I suppose you might be able to solve the moisture problem with a good sealer? And if you built the structure conventionally and then just faced it with the log rounds you would probably have no worries.
I liked how when the windows were closed they looked like logs. Ingenious.

Beautiful and artistic. Think I'd prefer if somebody did a patio like that for me, instead of a stack of cordwood. =b

Digit, when I looked at that photo, at first I thought that was Les Paul. Ole Rhubarb Red woulda loved that place!

Funny, i opened this little magazine we get from our electric co-op today, and there was the owl picture!! Turns out the guy who made it lives in the next town over from me in Montana. Small world
