Double hollow red elm

[Tom Dunlap]

Someone put up a 'free firewood' Marketplace post.

I've never seen a hollow double leader.

I'm trying to figure out how to make something out of the double hollow. Unless I can have a design I'm going to let it go.

Hollows are sometimes used for epoxy table tops or picture frames depending on the size.

Hollows are sometimes used for epoxy table tops or picture frames depending on the size.

That's all I've come up with too. It looks like they're cut to firewood length.

Cut some in half lengthwise so you have U-shaped semicircle pieces. Mill a flat on the bottom of each U. Make table legs joining two short pieces with one U up and the other U down. Make the table top with interlocking 2" lengths of the semicircles with epoxy filling the voids. The end grain of the interlocking semicircles would look pretty good as table top.

My old boss’s wife had a bunch of them used as flower pots all over the yard. Kind of a rustic beauty. Depending what get planted and how tall the hollow log is, the plant might grow into the ground a bit.

I’ll be doing this after we close on a new place in March. Keep from messing up some mini rose bushes with the weedwacker.

Get some glass cut and use it for a base. That and if needed carve some legs. A climber I know had “rounds” of English ivy from a rotten snag removal sand blasted and he used the hollow ivy shell as bases for glass topped tables.

Depending on size cut it into cookies and square it up, router in on the back side and add sheet metal mirror, or anything for cupboard doors?
