Oak Tree Stumps in our Bulbout
Thanks to Irma and KYCC and Griffith Park folks, we now have some big stumps (actually a stump is in the ground, so I guess these might be called mature tree sections? or something like that) in our bulbout. The idea is that these would seats/tables for the outdoor living room that we’re creating there. These may or may not be permanent. Outdoors they’ll break down over time. The plan is to coat the top with boiled linseed oil and that will prevent some cracking.
Some of them are irregularly shaped, so we’ll probably be carving into the tops (probably with a chainsaw) to make the tops more seat-shaped. Ones that are too tall can be partially buried.
For lots more background on the bulbout, read this earlier post.

On my way biking out this morning, I was really happy to see a kid playing around on one of the stumps… Have folks seen them used as seating yet?
I am hoping to get out there with the chainsaw and start to shape some of the ones that need shaping. Probably this sunday afternoon.
