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 :)
