Koohii stories:

1) [mcfate] 17-10-2007(61): A palisade is a "fence of stakes especially for defense," usually the stakes are very strong, set closely together, and pointed on top. Tome can be seen as a pictograph of several close-set wooden stakes, braced by one horizontal bar.

2) [Crowfoot] 12-4-2008(25): Before I build him a wooden palisade, the mighty leader gives me a mighty tome on the subject.

3) [perrin4869] 5-10-2010(6): I'll let the tome primitive refer to a spell book, in order to keep it distinct. In that case, this kanji shows me a wooden palisade under siege by a few mages, trying to demolish it with their spells from the spell book.

4) [drwaltoa] 23-9-2011(4): A pallisade is made of wooden tree-trunks laid side by side like the pages of an ancient tome.

5) [mantixen] 26-7-2009(3): Wooden tomes form palisades at the library.
