This silly thing I made for my mom’s sunroom. It is an inverted crotch of peeled Mountain Maple with a few added pieces to make a 2 level table built into one side, a backrest, front leg, & there is a rawhide covered lamp in the upper crotch. The seat is upholstered with black leather. I liked to find downed trees in the woods and figure out how to make something without having to add much, let the chair make itself. It would require lots of wandering in the woods to find the right piece. That was the best part.

4/ A few of some homey things I made. When I was a tipi dweller I started making furniture out of twigs and logs found in the woods nearby. They don’t require many tools - a pruning saw, sharp knife, a drill with some forstner bits, & an orbital sander if you want to make them smooth. I’d also do a lot of hand sanding & rubbing tung oil in for a finish. An imagination & some trial & error.
