While talking about bore cutting while talking about leaners. Reminded me so some of the things I used bore cutting for.
One was a big box-elder the was broke off in my yard when I bought it. After I got done cutting up the broke off top I still had a lot of stem sticking up rather than flush cutting it I carved it out into a mushroom. Its getting pretty weathered now as I carved it up ten years ago. I was going to stain it but keep on forgetting to.
Then a year after I moved in a big muti stemmed mulberry blew over. And I carved that one into a chair and I use it quit often just to sit in the yard.
I also did up another fancier chair in the horse pasture. But it was poplar blown down a few years before I bought this place and its pretty well rotted now. But it was great as I could sit out with my horse but didn't have to worry about him knocking it over and getting his feet tangled up in or it blowing away.
