Title: Got a little bored/board today.....you can do this too!
Post by: POSTON WIDEHEAD on August 24, 2013, 04:20:36 PM
Just took the afternoon off today and watched the tree trimmers bring in junk to be burned.
I saw a crotched limb from a Red Oak and I decided to play a little bit.
This is what I came up with and when I finished I took it to a neighbor who likes woodsy stuff in her yard to accent her plants.
This was a fun thing to make and anyone can do it.  smiley_thumbsup

I get it booked marked. A good idea. Better than KHAKIES.  ::)

Edit on the big letter word.   KHAKI  had to go find the correct spelling.

And I am on the search for a cedar one. But will have to use pine for the cookies. The cedar will have a hole in the middle that big on my land.

I like it David, and it really does not matter if when those cookies crack.   ;D

They'll crack all to pieces. But when they do, just stick'm back down with a tube of Silicone.

Good Idea!  I have a guy in my golf league who won a bar's "Most Interesting Man Look-a-like contest"  .He got a couple of T's and a hundred bucks.  Look around .  I believe you'd qualify...............that you'd  have bonefides!! 8)

That design would make a cool shooting bench for plinking with the air rifle in the woods with the kids.  I might steal your design and repurpose it.

Great ideas.   Planter for the Mrs. and plinking bench for the girls and I.

I showed that to my wife and she loved it.  Thanks for the great idea.  Then the idea of the shooting bench really hits home.  A few well placed in the woods and squirrel season could be great!
