Table base. Done. Easier said, of course. But I do like brenndatomu ’s idea... except for the weight issue, which wouldn’t be a concern if you stood the tree upside down and lit it like a floor lamp, but then even more of a weight issue. Can’t wait to see what you come up with jo191145.
No votes for ceiling fan? Balancing would take awhile I imagine LOL First idea was to use it upside down to hold a glass table top. Glass smaller than the root ball. Hold the big screen tv. Need to build a base of sorts. The chandelier idea has merit. I have a spot above the pool table I’ve never made a fixture for yet. Hmnn.
Hmmmm.. Me not being the imaginative kind, all I can think of is this. Or build a big azz wooden boat and there's your prop. Chandelier sounds like a great idea 45.
I do have a small whitetail mount that’s of no particular significance. Could lop the horns off that and shove the head underneath. Be a hell of a mount on the fireplace.
i vote table base with a glass top. Id be admiring the the thing constantly. Did you figure out the species?
I think it’s an oak. On the tip of one of those roots you can see some medullary rays. Oak is the only tree I know that has those in any significant abundance.
Voting Octopus with savage on this one. With a remote control paintball gun planted just underneath the digestive gland. Pretty sure it would be a one of a kind
