That was not what I was expecting when I saw the title of your post! Very nice! It’s surprising what can be made from construction lumber.

OK, we said an eight foot 2×4. Are you sure you didn’t use board stretchers on that?
Just kidding. Great little project. I had a wooden trash can and people always wondered why I spent so much time making a trash can.
Enjoy it,

Another surprising project just from one 2×4. Nice job.

There’s some tricky angled joint work in this one Gofor. Not straightforward by any means (As you know!!) And what about the clever arrangement of those knots? No coincidence I’d say! We like that a lot.

Pretty neat. Nice job on the angles, and I like the how the knots lined up.

it’s beautiful
I had to go back up and re-read to make sure it really was a 2×4 entry. The wood is gorgeous.
Fantastic job

Stewart stole my thunder here. You obviously took great pains in the joinery and the read of your humble 2×4, knots and all. Excellent job.

I wouldn’t throw trash at it… I like it too much. Great design. You actually had some complex joinery to get those angles together. Nice job.

Thank you all for your gracious comments!. It surprised me how much scrap I had left. The panels are 1/4” thick, and the frame pieces started out at about 1 1/4” square. The key angle was 7 degrees. The panels are not glued in, so can move with the humidity changes.
It was a fun project, altho I can’t say SPF is one of my favorite woods to work with! I posted a pre-assembly picture if anyone is wanting to duplicate it. The only caution I would offer is to make sure the dadoes for the panels are offset to the outside far enough that you don’t end up removeing the inside corner of the uprights.
Thanks again for looking and for the comments.
