After a nice day in the yard chunking and chipping away, this is how it turned out. Free form design with just axe and knives.

Looks like an Assyrian Wife Beater

Way better than I could have done.
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

Thanks guys. I have the first coat of epoxy on the outside to try and plug the holes and keep the knot in place. Tomorrow it will get a light sanding and then I figure out what for a finish.
