Here's my standing deadwood.

 

It was a goat willow growing somewhere we didn't want it. I chopped the branches at shoulder height then stripped off all the bark to kill it. Finally I sawed off two branches level at seat height and nailed a piece of old scaffold plank across them.

 

Voila; a nice, firm bench! I don't know how long it will last. 2 years old now and no signs of rot.

An old oak down by the stream.

a beautiful natural fracture on oak......and great to see the local council getting into the spirit of leaving monoliths along public bridleways.
