Exactly! We had a tree cut down and didn't not have it cut down to the ground. We are using it as a picnic table! My husband thought that the root of the tree resembled an elephant trunk. So he painted it gray, bought some eyes and voila, we have an elephant for the base of our table.
We also have a very large rock that resembles a whale, he added the tail and painted an eye, and also a large rock that resembles a frog after he painted it green and added eyes.
He is so clever!!!?
