Here is a pic of a bench made out of a dead pinetree. I cannot hold a chainsaw due to the vibrations that bothers me.I have a hired hand here who does all the chainsawing for me and this is what he did as per say to what I tell him to do. I have 15 acres of wooded land and Hurricane Ike messed up some trees for me. So I thought what can I make out of them. I asked my hired hand-Dean to cut the logs the way I wanted them and this is a bench I came up with as a model. I will select me a live tree to make few more and put outdoor varish on them to protect them in the long run.
Very cute and rustic! My dad made pine benches for his old cabin in northwestern WI by notching the bench & lower logs, it always reminded me or the Flintstones.
