Not quite the conversation piece that Dogfish's man-chair was, but it was necessary. My ex got the bed in the divorce and the now ex GF took hers with her recently, so it was finally time. I have had this project burning in the back of my mind for as long as I can remember, so when I gained access to some quality cured logs and combined them with some extra time and a need, here is what I came up with.
