Back to the following whims thing.
My wife had a couple wood buckets she used for trash and such. I wondered if they could be dressed up a bit, and left out in the open.
To that end, I ran some potential firewood/kindling through the bandsaw, in this case cedar, then grabbed the pneumatic stapler, some 3/8" staples, a bit of baling wire and went for it.
It's short, sweet and simple.
