Seriously, is it material suitable for making any sort of wood cutter?
If it is, I think I can get a lot of 'em out of the spring!

Maybe you could make some sort of catapult and use it for disposing of

What a waste! Don't you know that dead cats make great push sticks.

20 years (but not on the door) until he gave them to a locals sculptor
