We had some trees cut down but the stumps remain. Too difficult to remove. I was thinking about making a bench.

We hollowed out with a chain saw, filled with dirt and used it to plant annuals. Ornamental sweet potato trails down the stump nicely.
Are the stumps close enough to make a bench.If so try to find scrap wood and treat it with a outdoor perservitive
Depending on size, hollow out the top enough to form a flower pot size depression. Plant away !
Depending on location, you could make a seating area around it and use the stumps as tables.
Plant your favorite flowers in pots and sit them on the stumps.
We left one really tall and put a bird bath and birdhouse on it. All the neighborhood critters love it.

I bit the bullet and hired a guy that only did tree stumps..he was cheap..and FAST !!
We had a real big tree trunk at our cabin that was in a good spot so I hollowed it out and put flowers in. The bark wore off and I painted it. Also put some of the pcs cut from that tree on each side of drway , painted them red and screwed a metal bin on and put flowers in. All the neighbors loved it and they are still there 12yrs later..
