Some time ago, a neighbor took down an avocado tree. Unfortunately, I didn't know about it until it was already down - when I saw the pile of wood. The workers had cut the tree into fairly short pieces so they could carry it.
My neighbor gave me whatever I wanted to take - it was less wood that he had to get rid of. I cut the pieces down the center and put them in my attic to dry.
Recently, I took them down and decided to use the wood to make a small bench that could be used in the bathroom, or anywhere else in the house. I documented the build here.
This picture is not a good representation of the bench. The legs are splayed but because of the angle of the picture, they appear to go straight down.
