TREE STUMPS MAKE GREAT END TABLES

Wood is very precious here is desert.  You have to pay a top dollar for it.
 
About a year ago I was walking our dog, Scooby in a desert, and I noticed that somebody had dumped several pieces of cut down tree trunks in the middle of nowhere.
 
I called Jason and he came and helped me to haul them over to our yard.
 
I had all kinds of visions what I was going to be making out of them.  My visions did not entirely come true...since most of the stumps ended up being seats around our fire pit.
 
However, I got ambitious one day, and removed lots of bark and sanded these two pieces smooth, and turned them into end tables to our kids' little basement reading nook.  Perfect, if I say so myself :)
