I need a flat tuba shaped board to place on the point of a roof of a shed. Doesn't have to be fancy or ornate but it does need to cover a crack so water doesn't flow into the shed.

It needs to be 12in by 6in (or so). This is for Sean's shed. Please help! (It will be placed at the top where the gap is at the V of the shed)

Or you could just stick one of those tubas you have lying around up there!.............say, arent you a half carpenter yourself?

Noting the size of the crack where the facia boards come together, you need to find something to put over it or try to find some half-inch caulk.
Cool shed!

Naw, Schlep, somebody's gotta carve out a tuba or get busy on some plywood with a jigsaw. We owe Sean that much at the very least.

My fine carpentry skeelz made another miter end which does not meet fully on the rear gable also. So I need 2 thingies to cover my carefully planned mistake(s).

Wait, wait wait I'm not asking someone to pony up some skills. I am wondering if someone knows of an internet site or has seen something like that... I actually like Schlep's suggestion and you're right about the crack.

It would make sense that a crack that big would be evident in Sean's "woodshedding shed"

Presuming it's structurally sound (looks like it is from the picture) fill most of the gap with that spray-foam-insulation-in-a-can stuff, then finish (after it sets up - trim as needed) with a high quality exterior paintable caulking...you're good to go.

It is just the facia board. Purely cosmetic issue.

If it was my crack and my shed I'd have to cover it with something purty to hide the caulk.
On my old wooden sailboat I had a bad spot in the varnished grain on my cabin door that I covered with a rectangular brass plate that said, "The Captain's Word Is Law".

How about covering it up with a nice gable pediment?

Aw, just nail any old viola up there!

I'm sorry, but this is a little too.. well.. too much. I was hoping for something simple and tuba shaped.

The lady wants a tuba. Who's man enough to tell her she can't have one?

Good luck,

That tuba lovers sign on Amazon would slide up into that triangle and a couple of stainless steel screws-bingo!

Yeah, find an appropriately-sized cedar shake, smear some Probond on it and tap it into the gap and sand smooth. Under a coat of paint, no one will ever see it. Heck, it'll even be structural.

The "professionals" who build houses out here do far worse things.
