Turns out he'd been trying to find somebody who'd let him do one, but hadn't had any luck. We'll have S/N 001 of his tree stump projects.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-53064477823684176472020-12-29T17:39:47.931-08:002020-12-29T17:39:47.931-08:00He's been doing this stuff since he was a litt...He's been doing this stuff since he was a little kid. He has a dozen or so finished pieces at his house waiting to find customers, and he knows wood really well. He had a few other ideas he wanted to do, but as he started taking the bark off the tree, he saw things that made him change his plan. Since we didn't really know what we wanted, we told him to do what he thought would look good with what he had to work with.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-18477246801368101522020-12-29T17:34:30.677-08:002020-12-29T17:34:30.677-08:00He's hoping to get it finished this week.

Then he'll seal it with boiled linseed oil, which hes says should be reapplied every three years or so.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-52061862066397868242020-12-29T16:28:21.792-08:002020-12-29T16:28:21.792-08:00That's interesting that he discovered that und...That's interesting that he discovered that under all that wood he removed!Ed Bonderenkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03724552853113809036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-60478038765984982582020-12-29T15:40:39.439-08:002020-12-29T15:40:39.439-08:00Good of you to give him the chance!Good of you to give him the chance!Well Seasoned Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670165728759453075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-64851662190239842872020-12-29T14:23:34.466-08:002020-12-29T14:23:34.466-08:00Nice!
