Any furniture or wooden object before it is givenΒ its final, commercial shape is just … a piece of wood.
And for sure theΒ wood processing , generally, requires expertiseΒ and the appropriate professional tools, but it is not necessary for you to become carpenters in order to convert a piece ofΒ natural wood into a pretty simple piece of furniture or decorative object for your home.
You can use “dead”Β trunksΒ you will find fallen in forests , especially in winter, when trees can’t stand the strong winds, but it is much simpler if you buy them from a place which sellsΒ firewood. They don’t sellΒ trunks of medium or large sizesΒ all year round but towards the end of summer, the season they are equipped with new wood, you will easily locate such items or you can order them to be brought to you at home.
If you like the natural and rough look of wood andΒ it fits in the overall decorΒ of your home you don’t have to do anything else. Place the logs anywhere you want and use them as tables and chairs.
The same butΒ a little more “elaborated” result will give youΒ if you remove the outer skin of the logs completely . You canΒ do it by using any sharp tool you have and your patience.The most suitable logs to make tables or seats are those of pine trees, which usually have moreΒ symmetrical shape than for example those of the olive trees, but of course you can use any kind of wood you prefer.
TreeΒ StumpΒ and natural wood are perfect to create really unique pieces and accessories to useΒ indoors as well asΒ outdoors. Here are some ideas we found on the internet showing how you can decorate your home, andΒ you can make most of these things by yourself.
