I’d like to turn this stump into a seat which will involve hollowing it out. It’s about 2 feet tall. My fantasy of using the CNC and a comically large sized bit to do the job was dashed when I learned the gantry clearance is 7.5 inches and also when I mentally envisioned what would happen even if the gantry could even be raised high enough (wobble wobble).
Anyway, I figure there must be a better approach. I have an angle grinder with a bit designed for wood I’m going to try. Open to any other suggestions as well.
If you’re good with a chainsaw and finding a good center here is how easy it is. The bad, you would need a 14" bar chain saw. Not sure why you want to hollow it out if. is going to be a seat
I’m doing this for a friend of mine, and I mistranslated his goal a bit in my post. “Carve away a seat’s worth of wood” would have been a much better descriptor of what I’m interested in accomplishing than to have said, “hollow out.”
Using a chainsaw may still be the way to go. I’ve asked him to draw a sketch of his stump seat to be sure I’m understanding what he wants to achieve.
Thanks for replying! I’ll be back if his drawing leaves me “stumped” in any way.
