Place where we live, we have 3 palm trees. My beautiful wife asked me to build a bench there. Today was the day for that to happened! I took two of my oldest chillen, got some tools, boards and we got to work.

First I had to cut slot for boards to fit with a circular saw.

And another one on the other tree.

Make sure the board was cut to a right size and just push it into its place.

Quality check a must. Weight limit with in parameters.

Cut the slot and chisel out unneeded parts.

Measuring where we need to cut on the other side, make sure it's leveled.

Safety glasses probably would help. Even dog could see that.

My daughter did a little wood carving.

And so did my son... I've been around stone and wood carvers all my life, but I've never seen this technique... I think he is onto something!

Gently force board into its place...

Secure it with some nails.
