On Tuesday my Moonah stumps were inspected by two representatives from the local “Men’s Shed” and I don’t know why but I was apprehensive they wouldn’t be suitable. It was suggested that, bark removed, the wood is stunning and perhaps I could turn the stump on its side and utilise natural Moonah contours. Well, once that penny dropped I was beside myself with the endless possibilities. In fact I got so excited I’m sure the gentlemen in my backyard were convinced that I really need to get a life! The base will be flattened and mounted onto a platform with wheels that will fit under a bench when not in use. Kind of like my library catalogue draws which are brilliant.
I love them as tool drawers! I’m happy to report that I am actually working at the bench.
If anyone had said to me a few years ago that I’d be working on something that involved Moonahs I would have asked: “What are Moonahs?”
The stumps came from Victoria Park: The Memory of Trees and if you want to know more about the struggle to preserve these trees visit Moonahs Not Mulch on Facebook.
