If you are stumped for novel seating ideas, here’s a sure winner. I wish I thought of it myself. Putting wheels on the old tree stumps is to make them convenient, mobile and usable as a seating alternative. Or how about those tree stump chairs with tall backs. I would love to see a few of those on wheels at the heads of a dining table. If you are going to attempt one of these yourself, make sure you address the questions of creatures living inside the stump and splinters hurting people who will sit on them. For bugs, the ideal thing to do is to find a lumber kiln and ask them to “bake” the stumps. This will extract moisture and kill any bugs they may contain. Also I’ve heard that after a tree is cut, the stumps that were located closest to the ground tend to have the most bugs. After this you want to strip the bark, sand it and seal it. One sealing option is epoxy. It would be fun to paint them different colors too.
