We had our tree chopped down today because we are going solar. I am keeping part of the trunk. What are some fun ideas to create?

The tree guys suggested a small table. So did my mom. My four year old wants it to be a step he can jump off of. I thought of sanding it down and burning our last name into it.

Remove all the bark. Let it dry out for a while indoors and then sand it. Might be cute sitting stool with a carved out high back rest.

A bird house ?

Cut slabs and sand for centre pieces on the table to hold hot food trays.?

It could be made into a great leprechaun house!

Interesting conundrum---one has to chop down a living tree in order to go "green."

Yah we wrestled with that to. Thankfully the tree was rotting on the inside come to find out. And we just can't keep paying those $900 California electric bills during the summer. Solar brings us down to $259 with out changing any of our electric usage.

I like your idea of the family name burned into it. Maybe even welcome and the year you and Yang were married on it too.

Yes I like that to! Plus the "limb" we kept is big enough I want to slice a piece of that one limb and give it to the kids when they move out. Kind of like a cute little symbol of them being a part of the family tree even though we are not under the same roof.
