I love all of these ideas and I have a whole lot of tree stumps from this past year. I wish I could carve faces like those! But I can do pedestals and stepping stones!
Great ideas! Love the lady bugs!
Very nice idea…simply superb…..
just keep in mind…in a couple years down the road it will start to rot….unless you use something to preserve it well!!!
I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet
I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me.
In my opinion, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did,
the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.
Do you need to treat the stump ?
This is very creative.
