We got kittens this summer, and they were getting into trouble as kittens do, so I thought I'd make them something that they could climb on. I had also noticed while stacking that some of my firewood this year looked almost too good to burn. The result was a set of firewood stairs leaning on a scratching post and leading up to a platform. I felt a bit like a lunatic sanding, staining, and polyurethaning firewood, but I'm happy with the result. I thought I'd share some pictures:
