Hi everyone , here is my third rustic arbor that i designed and built using pine branches . A farm near by was clear cut last year and there were all kinds of left over branches and of course i hate to see things go to waste so this is what i came up with. It is 7 ft square and 13 ft high . I even wore my Lumberjock shirt as i was building it .

you are such an artist!!!!! This is lovely with the little (whatever its official name is) bell-tower on the top.
And wearing your LJ shirt while building, well that just makes this even more extra special!!
Fantastic job, again.

Looks great John
I love the design
That took some work to sort all those branchs, to get even pieces. But it sure turned out nice!

Thats cool. I wouldn’t stand under it in a rain storm and expect good results.
I think you’ll find yourself all washed up. lol
