Teeth
This fence (flipped 180 degees) reminded me that at one time wood was used to make dentures. Wooden dentures were invented in Japan around the early 16th century.
The story that George Washington had a set of wooden dentures though is a myth. Although, he did have a set carved from hippopotamus and elephant ivory, held together with gold springs!
