Zafra, one of our readers, suggested this topic on furniture made with tree stumps and tree trunks. This ultra low cost, all natural furniture is made with logging wastes. Logging companies take all the biggest, straightest pieces and leave behind large volumes of scrap wood. With a little imagination and some time, thrifty scavengers can turn these scraps into beautiful furniture that can last generations.

There’ll come a time when you have to eliminate a tree from your back garden.
That is a obstacle but the greater task is taking off the tree stump that
will remain. It is important to get rid of it if you don’t you will bring in pests
to your backyard garden (and invariably your house) so you need to start thinking about your solutions for this.
A lot of our furniture looks very similar to this. The natural shapes are much more interesting to look at than 99% of the furniture on the market.
