AmericanWoman on Jul 08, 2014You could even out the top surface of the log, making it flat. Then add a circular or square piece (doesn't have to be made of wood) to the top and you have a table.Helpful Reply

Carole on Jul 08, 2014Have fun figuring out what to do with it, I would say it belongs in the garden, perhaps as a base for a bird bath? Or a side table with a seating arrangement. Just be careful that you are not bringing termites or anything that you don't want into the house. Very costly to get your house treated for termite damage and such. Good luck!Helpful Reply

Francine C on Jul 13, 2014I agree with Pat M. and Donna D. A gnome home or fairy house. You could carve out a stair case from the bottom and curve up to the top of the stump and drill in places to put fake foliage and bushes. Glue pebbles on the stairs and put some wee people on them. Put a roof over the gnarled foot and either paint a door or make a door for them to get out and climb. At the top make a garden sanctuary or a little village. If you lived near me I would love to help. Looks like a fun project. :DHelpful Reply
