Default The stump

l joined June 1 this year and wanted to start accumulating some tools. Put the question out there and found that Elm is a hardwood. CaptonZap pm'd me and told me of a stump he had and didn't need. I was over there the next day and it took three guys to load it into the truck.
Then he showed me some of his tools that he has made I am so sorry that I didn't have my phone with me, there was some beautiful workmanship.

Now what to do with it, make two stumps.

Couldn't stand to see unfinished wood, so I cleaned them up.Stump day 2-middle.jpg
And this is what they have turned into. Stump day 2-end.jpg
I have been treating them with a 50/50 mixture of mineral sprits and linseed oil. I want to thank CaptonZap and assure him that his stump has found a new home and will provide me with my first home made tool.
