Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted May 17, 2021 Share #1 Posted May 17, 2021 at the new house. Front yard has this big oak stump. Plan is to convert it to a planter. I started drilling holes and switched to a 1” spade bit. This is going to take a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikeguy Posted May 18, 2021 Share #5 Posted May 18, 2021 A chainsaw would be faster. Just be careful with plunge cuts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur ★ Posted May 18, 2021 Share #10 Posted May 18, 2021 Pour some kerosene in the holes and light er up. You need a couple of side holes for air intake though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to drill drain holes from the sides anyway. 🔥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I’m aware of. The planter will last as long as the stump does, then I will do something else or it’s someone else’s problem by then. 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
