    bench and it’s supports. Perhaps also some staircase shaped supportsfor trailing

    plants.In the summer itlooks like a curtain and I intersperse them with traling

    geraniums.

    Cut them into thick discs and arrange into a feature, end-cut, parquetry floor somewhere .. like an entrance, bay window nook, living room hearth, kitchen or office floor - depends entirely on how many pieces you end up with. Celebrate any imperfections in shape and you could end up with a wonderfully unique floor. What an opportunity!

    I am making a family tree on my stairwell wall, they can be randomly put as you hang your pictures.You can arrange your tree first and add pictures but I am going to hang pictures and randomly place branches to resemble a tree not be specific. It's a big project and I have saved many different wall samples. I want to use many shapes and add geneology books on shelves etc. It is a MAJOR undertaking and will take months I am sure. I like to look at everyones ideas and then use the ones I like best so Thank you everyone who has posted Photo gallery walls and ideas

    Split them down the middle with a log cutter. Make both sides flat and smooth. Take the parts of the wood you cut off make four legs and you have an unique coffee table. I have a coffee table made like this. It is truly unique.
