What do you think of my mockup?

It could work, but I think I'd angle the CP slightly for it to be more comfortable
I'd also give the sides (esp at the bottom) some angle to add some visual interest from the side.

The 1x4's could work, but I don't think they'll come out like what you're thinking.

depending on your other decor, what might work is to get some old fence panels, or old siding and use it, leaving it all good and greyed up from the weather.

If you have access, some split half logs with the bark still on could be interesting too.

Thanks for you input.  I plan on putting together some paneling as a test to see if I like it before I go all out.

I originally considered using 2x4's but I think it would be too heavy; they have a little bit of round which I think would look nice when stacked together.  I found some cedar 1x4s at the local home depot that were pretty rough and could provide a nice weathered look.

The half-split logs are a good idea and something I am considering.  Then it would really look like it belongs in a log cabin.   :lol  I'm just not sure how rustic I want to go.  I am trying to balance rustic and modern.

Go with the split logs and make it a Buzzwagon theme!  :laugh2:

 :laugh2:  I'll think about it.

if you want a modern look go with a lighter wood. also angling the paneling towards the front or something would make it more modern than a level paneling treatment. if you did paneled INLAYS that would look pretty nice vs a whole paneled look.

its definitely not something that has been done before, but to be honest there might be a reason for it.
