Trash and Treasure

All this time I was wanting to have a dried tree stump to mount my tillandsias and bromeliads. But it was hard to find one where I am. Despite that I keep looking and just last Friday I found a perfect looking dried tree in the dump near my home. Perhaps it was discarded because the previous owner had found it could not re-grow.
Here's my found.


The "tree" was perfectly trimmed. Moreover, there are several "crevices" on the trunk which will be ideal for planting.
I'm hoping to turn it into a beautiful mount for my plants. Indeed, if you keep searching, chances are you'll find it, whatever it is!

That's a choice find. A very artistic shape to base your plant arrangements. Like Larry I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it. :-D
