This is the stump from the first Christmas tree my wife and I bought, 11 years ago this December. It's a fir...though I don't remember if it was Douglas or Noble. About 4" in diameter one way, 5" the other (it's sort of oblong).
I saved it with the thought of someday doing a project...but I haven't really come up with any great ideas. I could cut it into discs for coasters I suppose...or make it into some kind of candle holder...not really coming up with great ideas LOL
I also thought of perhaps taking it to someone who does turning...not sure what they'd "turn" it into though. I'm a bit of a neanderthal woodworker myself and don't have any carving or artistic abilities.
Really looking for suggestions...obviously, if it was just a stump I'd found in the woods, I would never have kept it, but because of the nostalgic connection, I'd like to make it into a Christmas present for my wife.
Any ideas?
