This is a badge bit (
BB) that is part of the
PEM curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the
straw badge in
Woodland Care.
Sometimes a big hunk of a tree just isn't a good fit for lumber related projects. Too knotty, bendy or a rotten branch perhaps? Let's do some rudimentary, large scale whittling and turn that log into something nifty. Let's make a pair of chairs out of it!
Here's one way to do it:
Minimum requirements:
- Make two chairs from a big log
- Log is at least 2' in diameter
- Log is not taken apart and reassembled
- Needs to have a back rest
Provide proof of the following as pictures or
video (<2 min):
- The log you're starting with
- Midway through with the tools you're using
- Finished chairs
