She made me do this with 3 perfectly good pieces of firewood.

Nice! Did you just let them dry out a bit, debark and then lacquer?

Love it! That's what women are good at

I've read about people having to burn their furniture in particularly hard times. Now, in good times, we're making furniture out of our firewood!.

I debarked them and let them dry for a month. Then, I sanded the heck out of them. Then 3 coats of polyurethane (sanding between each coat).

my friend has a piece of honey locust that he uses as an end table. he didn't laquer it or anything, it still has the bark on it, but it does have wheels on the bottom! (trying to get a picture)

Think of those as your "Emergency Wood" -- the wood you go to when you've run out of everything else and Snowpocalypse III has struck so it's either burn the "furniture" or freeze to death.
