That is the logs cleaned up with the draw knife..... I think other tools like just the axe would have worked better. At least for larger stock. My knife might just have been dull.
I used the hachet I had to shape the log a little more square. Then used my draw knife as a froe since I dont have one. I cleaned it up more with the axe into making parts for the bow saw.
Used an auger bit to make half circles in the "boards" as a recess for the cord used to tighten the saw.
Chiseled out my first mortises. Was going to make tenons but the wood was hard to cut with my saws and I didnt have a place to hold them down.

I had wanted to plane the wood to make it nicer but the wood fibers kept wrapping around the blade so it was futile.
Instead of making tenons I just used the axe again to taper the ends to fit in the mortises.

The above is obviously the end result. No power tools used.

You can also see my first bench hook I threw together in some of the earlier pictures. It just a panel with some scrap
