4 years ago my wife and I removed a tree from our backyard that was damaging a wall. Now after 4 years of rot and decay, I want to try and turn the stump into something beautiful and functional.
A big THANK YOU to UPAT SA for sponsoring this video.

I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle ru-vid.comUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there. Nonetheless, I like the simple stride to step directions laid out there.

I love the look of the roots up. The glass lets you see so much more than if they were facing down.
@modendaal01

That’s gorgeous Jean. I would say root up looks better and seems to cradle the glass top in a more natural way. Also it will be much easier to attach a more chunky base (possibly even something like a sleeper wood plinth) than it will be to try and stabilise the glass top elegantly. Nice job mate. And I love that laser level.

I agree that root up looks better, and you could use wood instead of metal to stabilize the bottom.

Love it. I was dubious when you were lopping off big portions of root, but it looks awesome in the end. It's obviously roots up, and maybe just one chunk of steel sticking out of the base.

From a fellow Western Capie, you have a fantastic channel. Came across you a few weeks ago when I watched your pedestal drill restoration, and I simply had to start your series from the beginning. Keep it up. From me roots up, but I suppose with a little one that will start crawling and standing up against everything in a few months it really doesn't matter 😉

It's beautiful either way. I prefer the roots down configuration. The laser level was a great asset to this build. Well done.

One more vote for roots at the top. It’s as if the stump is blooming from the floor! Great project!
@robandsharonseddon-smith5216
Watched this with equal parts 'he's going to need... oh already thought of it' and 'genius' another great project. Roots up for me.

Roots down shows off the root structure and is more in its traditional state when it was a growing tree. Looks great what you’ve done so far.

@bradleytuckwell4881
@bradleytuckwell4881 Год назад
I didn’t think it was going to look any good but after you chopped and chiseled you really worked your magic on it and now it’s a piece of art and with the roots facing up it does show it’s beauty so I’d say roots facing up

@whitsheupto1981
@whitsheupto1981 Год назад
I think the roots up has a more dramatic look and you get to see all the details you carved into the piece as well as all the natural elements of the stump. It also creates a more airy feel due to the negative space created by the roots being up and allows more foot room when sitting close to the table.

Roots up has more character to show off. And the narrow bottom would be simple to stabilize. Great job with this build!

I love how you turned that into something that looks so good, I favour the roots on top. To compensate for the smaller footprint you could hollow out the bottom and pour concrete into the hollow and let it set. And don't forget that new bundle of joy will be toddling about and having 4 kids that have successfully reached adulthood I've seen just how...... "interesting" it is to watch them lol.

Roots up looks great to me. Also it would give you more foot room under the table. Love your work!

Roots pointing up, Makes the piece look so much better in my opinion. Like a hand holding something up. Gives it more gravitas. Great work there my friend.

I like the roots up direction. I think you can see more of the shape that way and I agree the large metal frame needed for the roots down direction would distract from the rest of the table. Maybe you can make the base with curvy pieces of metal to try and replicate the look of branches. That would help it blend in a bit and look less out of place.

Roots up looks more abstract. Roots down more natural. I’m partial to roots down but either way it’s fabulous.
@hphincke39
@hphincke39 Год назад
Well done. The stump table looks really good. For me, roots up has a very attractive look to it. A discreet metal cross (or something similar) at floor level will be less obvious. I look forward to whichever option you choose. I'm also looking forward to the compressor restoration.

I love the... "I just built a router frame to mill the top of the stump". I'm no woodworker (but love these videos), but I'd spend several days building that frame (and it wouldn't be level) and you just make it appear!!! Keep up the great content please, even if I can't aspire to it personally!

I like the roots down. It makes it look like the tree is growing out of your floor. That being said, I think that if you wanted to continue with the theme of a tree growing out of the floor, it would be better to not do a glass top, but to do a nice wood top. That would allow you to support it without the supports being seen through glass.
@paulvanhouts3365
@paulvanhouts3365 Год назад
Hi Jean, I was thinking about enjoying the stump roots down, more character, the top supports could be from gnarly roots off a similar wood , leveled for the top. Think it over because it will certainly add to the artistic and natural forms provided by nature. Love your vids.
@baconsoda
@baconsoda Год назад
I like roots down. Could you put a steel rectangle around, and level with, the top of the stump to attach the glass to and avoid a big cross? That would show off the roots below more clearly. Best Wishes, Brendan.
@EitriBrokkr
@EitriBrokkr Год назад
Root at the top, then hollow out the bottom 2 inches and fill it full of lead. If its already fairly stable, the extreme lowered center of gravity will make it rock solid
