This time, in an old clearing, I found a large circular cut of a tree, quite old, covered with mold, but not yet completely rotten. I decided to make a table out of it, sand it down and wax it. To securely attach the legs, I decided to glue them onto birch tar. Taking a stone, I hollowed out a hole in it to collect birch tar. I assembled a tar kiln from rods and clay. Of course, I placed birch bark inside. Of course, you can’t get tar without impurities this way, but I didn’t need it. After gluing in the table legs, I decided to clean the top before waxing. I only had a small rounded chisel. But I coped with this task - it turned out to be an amazing table! It’s time to wax it. To do this, I heated a stone in the oven and melted wax on it, gradually saturating the entire surface of the table. It turned out to be a wonderful forest table, I would even put one like this in my home :) The second idea on this trip was to assemble a massive throne chair from thick logs. It should be convenient and reliable. After clearing the logs with a planer, I made the necessary parts and assembled this huge chair quite quickly. I am very pleased with the result - the chair turned out to be reliable and comfortable. I burned the lower part of the legs in a fire, and covered the upper part of the cuts with wax, similar to the table. Thanks for watching! bushcraft, shelter, survival, woodwork
