And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Looks like oak. I wonder how would one preserve that for outdoor exposure? I put a large log up on a couple of short 4x6 posts, off the ground, horizontal, to block a path from the woods people were mistakenly taking. It started out about 2 ft in diameter. Over the years, the bark has fallen off, then the soft outer wood. Now it's about a foot in diameter. The hard heartwood is now exposed, and it's sloughing off a lot slower. It's been about 12 years now. Fun to watch the changes, over time.
My turn to play the “I think it’s AI” game. The heartwood looks all wrong between where the seat and backrest converge and esp where seat, backrest and armrest converge, and overall the bark looks too fake.
Have sat on many a big log around roaring camp fires, that's a whole lot fancier than we ever had at summer camp!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a BIG log right there, and cleverly done. A whole lot of sanding going on. Must weight 600-800 lbs. Potentially roll backwards.
ReplyDeleteNice! I wonder how it will look when it dries out?
ReplyDeleteWithout cushions watchout for your hemorrhoids.
ReplyDeleteI assume the 'feet' are in cut channels, but I'd have used something that won't rot, not wood.
ReplyDeleteRedwood and old growth cedar are pretty rot resistant. Although the above appears to be neither.

ReplyDeleteBut we don't care about your opinion. Keep it to yourself next time.
DeleteIt's a Y shaped tree.
DeleteI thought like you did at first til I studied the tree.
It's very pretty but a bit impractical. That is, who's going to move it around to accommodate where the party is?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not cut from one log.
