Much to my surprise it was a 6 foot long piece of something. When it fell out of the back of her truck there were little bugs everywhere. I didn't have the heart to tell her that it should be in the trash , So I thanked her and dragged it to the back yard. After several treatments of bug killer and some drying time I wasn't sure what to do with it. It had knots every where and was splitting bad. Being to lazy to cut it up and haul it to the dump or burn it I decided to carve it with just my chainsaw. So after a hour heres what I got: I am not gonna sand it or stain it . I am curious to see what the elements will do to it. I sunk it about a foot into the ground as I didn't want it to fall on one of the kids. Thanks for looking.
