Hey Randy, That looks really cool. You have done a really good job. Very impressive. The wood is beautiful, great choice. How big was the stump to begin with? Did you use power as well as hand tools. Just beautiful, appreciate you sharing him with us. Lar

Love the expression Randy. Very well done indeed. My question is do you wear the tank top because all the buttons popped off your other shirts? I know mine would. Dan
