Contractors have came out and cut up the tree but I INSISTED that they leave as much wood as possible. Per my instructions they've cut the trunk into approximately 18" slices.

| Tree slices |
This will give us a LOT of firewood, plus enough wood to many. many craft projects.

| Firewood |
Some of the larger slices are being sold (message me if you live near Bergen County and you'd like to buy some). As for the rest of it - well I have a few ideas!
Completed Projects
One of the kids helped me to arrange this little sitting area.

| Seating area for the kids |
My son suggested that we have Thanksgiving Dinner here. I don't think my guests will be excited about this idea -- but based on the weather we'll wait and see.
My Project To Do List:
Here are some of the projects I plan to make.
 |
| Tree Stump End Table |
This end table from West Elm is selling for $249. This will be the first project I make. Price tag $0!
 |
| Stump on wheels |
This stump on wheels will be easy enough to recreate!
 |
| Flowered Stump |
The flowered stump is very pretty and will look nice in my yard.
 |
| Painted Stumps |
Painted stumps with cushion covers will look nice in front of our fireplace.
 |
| Natural Wood Coffee Table |
This natural wood coffee table looks AWESOME, but at $1492.00 - um-NO! This should be easy enough to make.
 |
| Hairpin leg table |
I like this hairpin leg wood table. I don't know where I'll put all of this furniture, but I like the idea.
 |
| Glass and Wood stable with stools |
Because of the ages of our children, I'm unlikely to make a glass top table, but it's not a bad idea!
 |
| Stump end table on Wheels |
The stump end table on wheels is a great idea for our outdoor seating area.
 |
| Bath side table |
I love the idea of a bath side table that won't be harmed by moisture.
Other Ideas
Here are a few more ideas that I'm kicking around.
 |
| Stump Candles |
 |
| Cushioned Stools |
 |
| Painted Stumps |
 |
| Multi stump outdoor table |
 |
| Stump Planter |
As I complete each project I'll post a step by step blog tutorial so stay tuned!!

A former neighbor made an outdoor chair from two wood slices -- one for the seat & one for the back. No clue how he cut them to connect but I'm sure you could figure it out!
ReplyDeleteI've seen that here and there on pinterest. I know that lag bolts can hold the slices together but i'm not certain on the cuts. I've also seen wooden chair seats and backs mounded to stumps. I might try that. It seems easier.
DeleteSad tree story i love the fact that the narrator has managed to create some humor on how she intends to utilize every part of that tree fusing humor with literature nice piece.
