No, just a Border Terrier by the name of Jock who is a certified, fully qualified and award winning creator of noxious fumes. The ass gas harbinger of doom! He’s a good lad really…Pet beaver?
NOT visible in the US apparently. BEAUTIFUL work Sir !!ShedEleven! It's a good name actually. Just as well you didn't buy further down the road or you might have copyright issues!
Jock’s favourite thing in all the world is drinking unobserved from the den of filth that is muddy puddles so he constantly needs worming. We call it ‘wet-bearding’, as the tell tale signs are obvious - a manky, black/brown, dripping wet beard and a tail perennially tucked between his legs. The little ‘Great Escaper’ should have been named Hilts!Smelly dog, smelly dog, what are they feeding you?!

Aye, this is very true. Our native woods are grossly misrepresented and overlooked. Even the plainest bit of Oak will show you contrasting grain in growth rings and medullary rays plus it’s hard and highly rot resistant even without treatment. For example: an untreated Yew fence post will outlast a pressure and chemical treated redwood pine post several times over and untreated Oak should at least match it.
That said, I do have some exotics in the shed which I was gifted by a friend after his mother and one of my very dearest friends passed away in 2019. Her late husband was a wood turner and his son often brought him blanks back from his travels. Sometimes, I will use scavenged wood that is thrown out, destined for landfill or the bonfire. That Oak was leftovers from a furniture maker at the end of our lane. Too small an offcut to be of any use to him but wooden gold to me…
Not at all. My apologies and best wishes !Ah sorry Dave, it was just a video of Shed Seven "Chasing Rainbows", only relevant for the name. I thought your sad face meant you hated the song
I’ve tried that and the grain gets lost against the olive background. I will use all three logos depending on where they need to go. Thank you, all opinions are very welcome indeed!I like the top one best.
How do you think it would look with the grain coloured the same as the number backgound, keeping the White and coloured circle surrounds?
