In the weeks after his death, secrets about Hugh Hefner’s life have been revealed, and now RadarOnline.com can exclusively expose the Playboy mogul’s hidden war with Scientology.

“Hugh was never a fan of organized religion but especially in his decaying final years,” an insider told Radar.

Hefner, who died at the age of 91 on September 28, was said to be “on a real paranoid jag” about the bizarre Hollywood religion in particular, says the source.

“He didn’t want any of the playmates dabbling in it or socializing with people associated with the church, and he made sure his magazine wasn’t hyping the religion or its key Hollywood players in any way shape or form,” the informant revealed to Radar.

But Hef’s open disdain for the church wasn’t enough to keep some Playboy models from looking into or dabbling in it. But when Hugh caught wind of this, he made sure these women were given the cold shoulder, spills the snitch.

“I think he just saw it all as a big con, something to stay away from at all costs.”

I've often watched logs burning in a fireplace and wondered what the wood could have become. I purchased these logs for $2 a piece from a guy selling firewood on Craigslist. He claimed they are white oak. By stripping off the bark and sanding the log smooth, I created a nice piece that could be used as a stool or as a side table.

SUPPLIES:

Log
Reclaimed

TOOLS:

RYOBI 18 Volt Chainsaw
Available at Home Depot
I used the chainsaw to cut the logs down to length and to strip-off large chucks of bark.





RYOBI 4 1/2" Angle Grinder
Available at Home Depot
An angle grinder is a very powerful and versatile tool that is surpirisngly affordable. I used my angle grinder with a lancelot blade to remove bark and shape the log. I switched to sanding discs to sand the surface smooth.
