I have a large pine tree stump that I would like to finish and make into a coffee table but I am unsure of how to do this. It is 3 feet high and 2 feet in diameter with the bark still around it. Any advice would be appreciated.

My neighbor had to cut a tree down, and it has a big hole in it where coons lived. I sealed the inside with wood sealer, I think I used the deck sealer, and sealed the outside, bark and all and am using it as a planter, Fantastic, also have a big stump using as a table, all we did was seal it really well with a good sealer, we have had the same one for about 7 years now, and am getting ready to reseal it. GO to the paint store or hardware and tell them what you need a sealer for and they can tell exactly what you need . No need to remove the bark, if it is sealed good, cause the seal will run down between the trunk and the tree itself. Hope this helps you out some. rose

Maybe take the bark off & sand smooth. Iwould put a sealer on & let dry good. Then several coats of polyurastane or just stain it. You could go on Google, or ask H/D or Lowes.
