Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.

Answer 3

take the door, cut it in whatever shape you want(square/circle)..if u want it rectangular keep it as is just shorten it as much as you want... go to the hardware store get one or 2 2x4's... depending on the length of the table.. put them on each corner or every so many inches apart.. than screw them in(use atleast 2 screws just to be safe)...paint it whatever colour you want... i would suggest painting it brown with like black marks(representing burntness)...i unno not the best plan but it would work...just be cre4ative with your shaping and so on...if your talented you could shape it like a fire fighting hat. so ya...have fun with your project and good luck!
