They never used it for anything and it had been outside for years so it was really bleached and actually pretty smooth. I (kind of) followed this tutorial except that my stump (anyone else have a Black Eyed Peas song running through their head now? ;) didn't have any bark on it and I didn't use any legs. It was already the perfect height for a side table.
I sanded the whole thing down with my palm sander to get it really smooth and splinter free. Then I wiped it down with a tack cloth and applied 6 coats of poly.
I'm loving how it turned out!

Wow! That looks great! I think the sanding and poly really made it look super chic as opposed to I-found-this-in-my-backyard-and-stuck-it-in-my-house. :)
Haha...so true! My hubby wasn't to sure about this project in the beginning for that very reason.
This is great! This is what I want my stump to look like! Thanks for the advice, I will keep you updated!
