Cutting the tree down.

[Zemo]

A couple weeks ago I posted that I had to cut down two big pines in my back yard cause they got hit by lighting. Well I cut them down and left the stumps so I could make a table top for them, at bar height.

The I shaved the bark from the other parts I cut up and made stools from them.

This is how it came out. It was perfect cause it's near my fire pit.

It looks great, but in a few years that main stump is gunna rot and there's no way to stop it.

But for now, it's really nice and very rustic

Very nice!!

[Nostalgiabuff]

nice job. what did you use to seal the stump and seats?

That's so cool!! Can you seal the main stump to prevent wood rotting?

Yea it's actually 2 main stumps under there, but i did completely cover them with epoxy so I did what I could to prolong the rot.

The Top is coated with bar top epoxy= 50 coats of varnish.

Whole project 100 bucks and about 2 hours labor. Not counting cutting the trees down lol. Lucky I still have a patio roof.

The seats I just used 3 coats of polyurethane.

I'm sitting at the table now, with the fire going, it's pretty cool.
