I aquired a tree trunk bottom from my fathers property. Measures roughly 3'L x 9" Hx16" W. Beautiful piece! Any suggestions welcomed?

I'm sure that piece means a lot to you ... if it is recently cut, it needs to 'cure' -- keep it out of moisture, off the ground on supports to allow air circulation all around .. https://baileylineroad.com/4-wood-drying-tips-for-woodworking-projects/ and then you can decide -- table base, not sure of you dimensions -- 3' LONG? do you mean 3' TALL ? -- if it's 36" high, could be cut in half and used as bases for coffee table or end tables; Or you could find a millwork shop in your area that could possibly cut raw edge slabs from it to use as counters/table tops, etc. ... Endless uses-- but if not properly cured and sanitized ( you don't want beetles/worms to destroy it! )
Think about a nice coffee table. Does it have some beautiful graining?
Hi Christine. You could put a piece of glass or wood on the top and make it into a table. You could also use it as a plant stand. Good Luck!
Elevate it on bricks/blocks, or sturdy wood supports and make a planter ; additional seating with Sunbrella fabric. If you're handy with a chain saw, you can cut animals on tree limbs into it.
