Found a project for the lumber that just is not quite within size specifications such as the bottom boards from a cant.
rather than cut some stickers out of them I came up with an alternative plan ...... build a tree fort for my grandsons. https://forestryforum.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pid=116293#top_display_media
Hmmmm looks like I need to go back and figure out how to get the photo to land here rather than a link. I hit the click here to add photos to post.
But I must have missed something along the way.

That's pretty cool! I hope you did research for attachment points to trees. The "artificial limb" is the preferred method. It consists of a sliding mount on a large diameter screw/shaft. It's about the only method to allow for tree movement/growth and doesn't kill the trees. The natural growth and movement of the trees will pull out lag screws from your joists/stringers. In any case... it's a great looking structure! I'm sure you kids will love it!
