The seats pictured here are
so simple that they require little explanation on my part.
They are designed for camping purposes, but there is no reason
why you cannot make them for your lawn or playground; in fact,
their rustic appearance makes them as appropriate for a lawn
as for any purpose. It is an easy matter to find the pieces
needed, but you should be careful not to strip your neighbor's
trees of any branches without permission. Before attempting to
drive long nails or screws in this green wood, bore holes with
a small bit. Shave off all knots and bumps with a sharp knife
and paint the spots with shellac or varnish to keep them from
splitting. The chair and stool may be made in take-down style
by tying the joints together with cord, and in this way can be
taken apart and carried very easily. If made for the lawn it
is just as well to screw them together
