The rough twisted and gnarled pieces make excellent rustic work, which always gives a garden much interest. The worst of this kind of mechanism is, that if exposed to all weathers it soon rots, and it does not seem worth the la bor it takes to put it together. So only that should be made up with the bark on, which can be placed under cover in winter. Where rustic work is to be left out at all seasons, it should be built of pieces with the bark removed.
