the netherlands-based designer kodjo kouwenhoven of maandag meubels has developed 'bosbank' a simple mechanism 
which transforms tree trunks into benches. with four galvanized brackets, four wooden legs and two colorful straps, any log is turned
into raised seating. the set is transportable, making it a useful device to have while camping. the length of the strap allows tree trunks
of various thicknesses and forms to be used, changing the look of 'bosbank' every time.

What would be the point of flattening the log on top? The point of this is creating a seat where there was none before, not to carry around wood shaping tools as well.
