Uses for an Oak Tree Stump Table

Oak tree stump tables are appropriate for homeowners who enjoy a rustic decor style. These tables give your home an element of the outdoors and provide the sense that you have a piece of the forest inside your home. While these tables look striking in a dining room or kitchen, think outside the box for a multitude of other uses. Does this Spark an idea?

Set Dressing

An oak tree stump table evokes many images, from nature to fairy tales, making it a suitable prop for a film or a stage play. Quaint and fantastical enough to act as decor for a rendition of "The Lord of the Rings" or "The Hobbit, a stump table would also be at home on the set of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears." Take advantage of the naturally enchanted look of the table and use it for at-home, make-believe plays dreamed up by your own children.

Vanity Table

Remind yourself that true beauty comes from within with an oak tree stump table as your vanity. The table gives you ample space to spread out your make-up and accessories, while serving as a living example that often the most natural presentation is best. Complement your vanity stump table with a mirror framed in authentic wooden branches.

Chess Table

Make a game of chess extra special with an oak stump table. Paint a chessboard on it, or nail down a homemade chessboard to the top. Complement the table with matching oak tree stump chairs, and use rustic, carved wooden playing pieces.

Mini Throne

Ignite children's sense of make believe by carving out a miniature throne for kids out of the oak tree stump. This throne should be a suitable size for the small bodies of kids and can be as simply or as ornately carved as you'd like it to be. The miniature throne will inspire kids to play a range of make- believe games, from pretending they're in Narnia or Middle Earth to their favorite fairy tale.
