Ryobi was a fan of the Concrete Log Holder that we recently made, so we teamed up and decided to make a more modern, circular version of the concrete log holder. The step-by-step tutorial is on Ryobi Nation website, here. Below are a few photos of the build and some basic tools and supplies needed to make yours! Best of luck, cheers!

The aluminum flashing method is not the only way to do this, it was just the most affordable and easiest to find where I live. If you have access to things like Sono Tubes or other ways to form the circle for this concrete log holder, by all means go for it! Share your methods and ways of doing this modern concrete log holder in the comments below. Thanks!

Check out this log carrier I got from Skonzig to bring firewood into the house. It holds enough to fill the concrete log holder and works great!
