And he was the master at stacking it. For him it was an art. It's been two years since he's passed away and I've been meaning to do something like this, minus the wheels, with some of the tree rounds he's left behind. Some of the large ones he used as a surface to split the other smaller pieces and to chop kindling, so they have this lovely patterns cut into the top. I think it's time I get to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-8752944741811488472010-08-08T16:52:30.134-04:002010-08-08T16:52:30.134-04:00What a wonderful idea!

My parents have been using a (slightly larger) stump as a coffee table for years in their tiny living room. It is totally unfinished but they have a 2ft round piece of thick glass on top of it for drinks, etc. I've been bugging them for years to actually ATTACH the glass to the stump but they claim it hasn't been knocked off yet!Maggie Rosehttp://www.maggieroseonline.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-7539061241373551892010-08-05T11:13:58.518-04:002010-08-05T11:13:58.518-04:00I think it turned out great!!!

It just worked out well enough but not perfect.<br /><br /><br />Aunt Snow: I had 3 casters on it first but it wasn't very stable. If you sat on it (which I have no doubt will happen) then it would topple over. The fourth caster added the extra balance. <br /><br />Annitah: I really hope there are no surprises inside this guy. Its hard to tell - it looks pretty inactive from out here and it was sitting in the sun for a year but anything is possible. I have to keep my fingers crossed.Mrs. Limestonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159249562273770481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38356705.post-6214739232884527902010-08-03T07:35:07.377-04:002010-08-03T07:35:07.377-04:00You have the patience if Job!

That's what would puzzle me.<br /><br />I think also if you had 3 casters, that would self-level it, kind of the way a 3-legged stool is non-wobbly.<br /><br />But of course, I've never tried such a thing!
