Log purse and/or self-defense weapon

Abstract

A method of producing a log purse and/or personal self-defense weapon that is made from a natural cylindrical elongated section of a natural growing tree. The log purse and/or personal self-defense weapon is non-lethal, legal and obvious to all. It is a wood receptacle for personal items such as money, credit cards, identification or any items that one may need to keep readily available on the person. The natural hard surface of the log purse and/or personal self-defense weapon allows it to be strong enough to be used in such a manor as to swing with enormous force through the air, aiming the purse at the assailant with intention of striking the assailant to cause a moment of pain and injury as a distraction to allow the victim time to escape. It is easy to use and can be carried almost any where a person can go.

1 . A method of producing a natural log purse and/or personal self-defense weapon comprising the steps of; 
 a). providing a natural cylindrical elongated section of a wood log that is from a tree;    b). cutting the log into several individual smaller log pieces, each piece to be used as individual stock;    c). cutting the stock either vertically or horizontally to produce two pieces, the top and the bottom of the purse;    d). boring out the inner sections of the top and the bottom pieces of the purse;    e). smoothing the inner and exterior sections of the top and the bottom pieces of the purse;    f). finish the exterior and interior of the top and bottom pieces of the purse making them appealing to the touch and the eye;    g). attach the top and bottom pieces together to become one purse using multiple varieties of hardware and screws;    h). attach a cosmetic mirror to the interior or the exterior using glue to secure;    i). attach strap or handle and necessary hardware to the log purse using screws;    
     
     
         2 . the method of  claim 1  wherein an elongated section. of a natural cylindrical wood log is cut from a section of a natural tree;  
     
     
         3 . the method of  claim 2  wherein the natural cylindrical wood log is cut into several smaller individual pieces;

         5 . The method of  claim 4  wherein a boring process is used to hollow the natural cylindrical interior sections of the top and bottom pieces to produce the receptacle comprising of a hollow top and bottom piece with desired thickness.  
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 4  and  5  wherein the process of smoothing the interior and exterior of the natural cylindrical pieces of the top and bottom to desired smoothness using modern woodworking tools;  
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the process of finishing the interior and exterior of the natural cylindrical sections of the top and bottom using available finish products that will help to preserve and make more appealing to the touch and the eye the natural structures of the log purse and/or personal self/defense weapon;  
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1  wherein attaching multiple fasteners to join the top and bottom pieces together as one that allows the top and bottom pieces of the natural cylindrical log purse and/or personal self-defense weapon to function to open, close, and to lock securely.  
     
     
         9 . the method of  claim 1  wherein a cosmetic mirror is attached with glue to the interior or exterior of the log purse and/or personal self/defense weapon.  
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1  wherein a strap or handle is attached to the log purse and/or personal self-defense weapon to allow it to be carried either over the shoulder or in the hand.  
     
     
         11 . a log purse made from a natural wood log section of a natural tree that maintains its natural appearance that is a receptacle for personal items and functions to open, close, and locks securely.
