First pic is one to show Colin that we have some buried in snow here too.
With the rest of the pictures I would like some suggestions from the people that have the talent to give this newbee some suggestion as to what to put on or in them.
Second pis. is three stumps on same root , left is done Ithink , center 5ft. high ( 9" in dia) right 5 ft. high (11" in dia )
Also have two other stumps by them selves that are 5 ft.10 " tall by 11" and 12 " in Dia. All Elm . Gad its hard wood!!!
Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Hi Slather, I am assuming these are all in the same location or owner has them? First thing I do is ask the owners if they have anything they woulsd like? If the answer is no I then ask what or find out what they are interested in or what type of work they do, their background, the decorations around their house, just a matter of looking around normally to see what the poeple are into? My first impression would be it would make some nice dolphins jumping out of there? I try to get into the peoples heads by asking questions & it is amazing sometimes what you will discover!
Thanks, Robbin

Hi Slather,
Why spoil a good thing....you could just continue with the tree spirits or as Robbin suggested carve a couple of Dolphins jumping out.
But, you are from Owen Sound the rainbow/salmon capital of Ontario,
You have to carve at least one trout coming out of the furthest one and a double spirit on the middle.
Better tell me where it is so I can check it in April when i come thru on the way to the cottage.


Thanks,
Bob

I vote a couple more wood spirits with long beards wrapping around the post all the way down. Dolphins sound good too tho.
