Oh my, my husband is a keeper and brings me stuff all the time, but like the rest of you, nothing as cool as that.

That's really nice. We once found a trunk in Utah that was about 3' diameter and sticking out of the ground several feet. I assumed it was longer yet. My wife wanted me to put it in our old Wrangler. If your stump looks like it will polish tell your husband to buy you a Barranca Wet Polisher so you can really enjoy your gift. It would make a really nice yard rock and not much chance someone will walk off with it.

LOL I had to put something in the middle of the stump it kept filling up with water (Lately rain water) because we have had so much. I was gonna just put a flower pot ontop but it would still get a lot off water in it and it didn't look right so I didn't. Thanks all It's better than having all the buckets sitting around and things out of place. I'm loving it cause now I can just go pick out what I want to work without trying to dig through buckets, and I get to admire them all more..

Hi Tammy,
Now even though I am a flower lover, I would have left the dirt out of the top of your stump and instead it would be full of some of my favorite "tumbles". This way there won't be any mineral build up on your stump from the soil. Just me thinking...

grizman--I thought about that but when it fills with water it's a gross black and thought it would just ruin them so that's why the dirt and also didn't want the water sitting around for mosquito's. and rocks2dust it is beautiful.

For the first time ever.....
That is the first time I ever saw a rock I wouldn't cut up.
That is mind boggling in it's details, shape and proportion.
