Removing the remains of a felled tree from the soil is a very difficult process. The gardener spends a lot of time and effort.

Of course, any gardener who has rid his country plot of stumps has a desire to get several positive effects from uprooting at once.

I would like the dacha to not only remain without tree remains sticking out of the ground, but also to receive another aesthetic advantage.

To achieve this result, uprooted stumps should never be thrown away.

First, the uprooted tree debris must be freed from its roots.

Next, you need to make sure that the stump is dry. You may have to wait a few weeks.

An indication that the remaining tree is ready for further processing is that the bark will come off easily. This outer "shell" should be removed completely.

To turn stumps into unique chairs and tables, you may need a lot of tools. This includes a plane, a chisel, a saw, and a sander. It is possible that you will have to use sandpaper.

The final result depends on the skills and originality of the summer resident. From unsightly stumps it is quite possible to get interesting eco-friendly furniture that will look great on a country site.
