Cupressus Leylandii is the normal tree of choice for neighbor disputes. It's fast growing and light blocking

There's a video at the story link that shows them using a draw knife on the bark.
Looking at the picture on the web site of a chair (https://fullgrown.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/National-...) I wonder how durable they will be. Interesting tradeoff between how "complete" the chair is and how much time it takes to grow. There is also pretty clear evidence that its been planed at least somewhat to make for smoother surfaces. Where do you draw the line here? You could put a 1m diameter log into a 5 axis milling machine and have it carve away everything that was not 'chair'. Would that count?
