The farmer's logs<br />
The farmer's logs are pretty easy to make, I made these farmer's logs<br />
for the exercise “the farmer's walk”.<br />
MATERIALS<br />
1. Obtain two similar logs with the same weight. It’s best if you get<br />
your cuts out of one long trunk then you will have two logs of the<br />
same length and proportions.<br />
2. Remove the bark so that the logs are smooth this will stop the<br />
friction burns and rubbing against your legs during the farmers<br />
walk.<br />
