Default Peeling logs & a visit from sheep

Woke up this morning with no plan to peel logs. Mainly because I don't have a draw knife...…..but I was looking through Amazon to see what they had. Decided to talk to an acquaintance who I know peels logs. He lent me one and thus my day was planned. It was getting too windy outside so I moved into the garage. My wife called out to me to say there were sheep in our yard. A couple immature rams...…….still that was a first. I have to say that peeling logs is not what I thought it was going to be...…….there is a peacefulness to it, a mind numbing peacefulness . Maybe make some benches? Anyone have any pics or plans that I could reference for benches?

Nice location for a split log bench swing. Would just need to collect some other sizes of log pieces for the frame and such. Suspending a split log seat and back by a chain would last for ever. Sort of like this swing frame but with a split log seat & back instead.

Can't let my wife see this or I'll be assigned to making that swing. It's very nice and she would like it dearly. Thanks for the post

Then definitely don't show the wife "Chop with Chris"'s videos on youtube. This guy only uses hand tools to make things.
