About the picture: This is a chair made of wood - sawn tree branches, not milled lumber. The chair's webbing is woven from pieces of rubber or composite fire hose. This was built by one or more German prisoners of war held in Kananaskis, Alberta, Canada during the Second World War.

As they say, "Necessity is the mother of invention."
