I finally got around to watching the stumpery edition last night.
I have a huge oak at the bottom of my garden that was cut down last fall. its about 30 Inches across at the base. The tree guy left it about 15 foot high. Anyone got any ideas how easy it will be to dig up and move?
It must weigh about 2 ton so will need at least 5 guys to move it but would make a fantastic stumpery.
Well my husband has managed to blag some poplar stumps so waiting a while before we place our mushroom plugs .My friend has already done hers. ,looks good AWB.
Bluebaron, could you grow a climber of some sort up it. You could put bug boxes or bird boxes on it or a couple of hanging baskets with trailing flowers.
Hi just found you guys while looking for ideas for stumperies. Find a local tree surgeon to get your stumperies going. They often have stumps, roots and all that they often just burn so perfect opportunity
I was going to make a stumpery but have now aquired some chimney liners. Now do I call it a potty stumpery or a stumpy pottery - if it ever gets made that is - so many other things to do as well!!!!!
OOOh, I like that AWB! My efforts are more of a twigery but I like it, I've moved it around some more today as well. Mine's more 'eerie' then 'woodlandy'. Haven't seen this thread before but will put some pictures on at some time (there are some elsewhere can't remember exactly).
I am hoping that all the little nooks and crannies will become homes for frogs and toads. No frog spawn this year, very little last year, do now have grass snakes, could this be the problem. Also no hedgehogs.

A lot done but much more to do.

That looks great AWB. Still waiting for OH to get my logs etc from the fallen trees at his golf club.
