What craftsmanship? I'm not a wood worker, and I could do better than that! The corners are squared, not rounded to match the hatch opening, for starters.
You wonder why they "hatched" this idea. The creator clearly wanted to spruce up his woody. It does raise the question though about going out on a limb trying to do something different. It does give it more of a trunk appearance which I know may wagon owners miss. He could branch out and add more on the roof, or maybe just leaf it alone. :banghead3: sorry, I just couldn't help myself......
I woodn't beleaf it if I hadn't seen it. Knot that there's anything wrong with going against the grain.
What comes to mind is that the doors now would be much easier for dogs to get in and out of, especially if there were a trailer behind the beast. The drop down gate can be awkward to work around with dogs, not to mention loads, but with the size of those doors, I'm sticking with animals of some sort.
That's one way to stop the tailgate leaking and you can get in and out . but it were brick what would you do for doors ? I've nearly seen it all
