Here's a nice YouTube video of a guy making a chair from a single log using hand tools.

I especially liked

how he used the character of the wood (cherry) to his advantage. I did some work with Cherry back in wood shop in HS. it splits very easily. He used this fact to break out the pieces. I don't think a tougher wood like tamarack would work as well using this method.
