Stick furniture Pics?

I'm trying to find Stick furniture or log furniture pics on the net.
purely to get some inspiration on what can be built - Rustically...
Being a craftsman but not an artist means that sometimes one needs a
bit of help when it comes to design.
One more thing... how can I Bleach commercial "Sticks" that have been
treated to deter bugs - they have a sick green color to them. (May
even ebonise them)
Last - when using cutters - how do you set up or make jigs or
measuring when making stick furniture. how do you cut your tenons so
that things eventually "line-up" - i know some folks use epoxy glue
when assembling purely because the rustic techiques are not always
very accurate and epoxy helps in taking up the discrepancies in angles
etc.

Google, images.

"Sticks" that have been treated to deter bugs - they have a sick green
color to them. <snip>

Uh, treated lumber is not something to mess with. Not for
furniture, in dwellings, places animals are in, etc.

Rockler has these for tenoning, then a good forstener bit would help.

And if your talking about green colored wood (pressure treated), not for
indoors, or contact with skin as previously advised.

Ah well, so it won't wrap the link, I tried. Copy the dissected
portion-click on the link- paste the dissected portion and hit the enter
key.
Or go to rockler.com and search for "Power Tenon Cutters"

Or go to www.leevalley.com and pop "tenon cutters" in the search blank. They're
the company that makes them, anyway, or the Veritas division is.

Check out
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2365167587&category=3198
and look at one of the brighter pictures at the bottom. This is all mortise
and tenon construction, no fasteners except for the ends of the seat
material.

How do you get the joints to line up? The same way you get to Carnegie
Hall -- practice. One of our sons does these, and he has put many hours
work into the scrap pile.
