What should i do with the rest ?

[Paddytray]

I recently helped my neighbours cut down a pine that was damaging there house and mine .
Ive put to good use almost all of the wood building a wattle fence retaing a mud bank in my garden .
I also made a Shillelagh (sha-lay-lee) Almost ready for our Handfasting instead of a sword .
But I have many short logs and few long ones various sizes.
what should I try to make ?.
Do they hold any value ?.
Can any good come from them ?.

ive invested in a DREMEL 300 SERIES MULTITOOL.

I made a simple wooden cup from a bit of pine, simply by mostly hollowing out a 3 inch long branch (de-barked) about 2 inches in diameter.

Being a softwood it isn't porous, and so holds liquid very well. I finished mine with some walnut oil. Took abou 30 minutes all told, using green wood.

If nothing else, pine makes great practice wood for carving and whittling skills, as it cuts fairly easily.

its been well soaked with the weather weve had i've burnt loads 1 big log in my burner has lasted for ages it doesnt seem to go out brilliant wood and my street smells amazing (to me , The neighbours maybe bored of it by now its been months ).. but there was 2 stumps one bigger than my arms span with 4 main uprights off it.
and the other tree had 2 uprights so loads of wood for me to play with just where to put it all lol . I dont want to cut to much up and waste I'd rasther give it away . it was taller the our house
