PEP BB roundwood.sand.drypegsawhorse - green wood saw horse with dry wood legs

I would like to see a three legged sawhorse where two legs on one side has a really wide stance.  Can be round on the top.

Here's my submission going for those criteria much like in the video in the description for the BB. Starting with a section of fresh cherry log, I proceeded to shave off the bark with a drawknife and then bore holes for the legs with a hand auger. I eyeballed the first hole and then used a sliding bevel gauge to roughly match the angle of the next one. I selected material for the legs from my stockpile of small diameter black locust and chestnut off cuts and shaped the tenons with my shavinghorse and drawknife. Once the first two legs were driven in I experimented with a forked branch to find a height that seemed fitting and used it to determine placement for for the last hole and its angle. I moved the forked limb to the side to make room for the auger to start the hole, afterwards I laid the horse on its side to finish boring and it turned out that the angle of the last leg was pretty much vertical in that orientation or square to the plane of the other legs. The third leg was then prepared and driven in. Testing its stability at this point it felt very solid and clearly can handle much more than my body weight. I sawed down in the center and then used my hatchet to make a saddle notch on the top. Seems like a useful thing to have on hand, I will likely use it for raising logs for peeling and maybe milling similarly to the person in the video. I do think if the third leg was made removable it would be easier to put away somewhere, as is with the wide splay it kind of takes up some space. The distance between the bottom of the paired legs is over 4 feet.
