From contributor R: If they are big hollow logs, build a tree house on top of the log with a ladder inside the log to get to the tree house. From contributor M: If it's like the western red cedar I saw, that could be clear wood. I don't know what clear oak sells for, but clear cedar is worth three times as much as the knotty stuff. It's a little extra work, but you can saw it into lumber if the shell is thick enough.  Click here for higher quality, full size image From contributor D: Good suggestions. A neighbor picked up one we had. It was full of dirt from varmints and the anthill inside of it. I didn't want to ruin chains sawing it into firewood. It was over 5-1/2' on one end, 4' on the other, and about 5' tall. He said he was going to make it into a planter. I guess I should stop in to see how it came out. From contributor L: I have seen large hollow logs cut into 8 to 16 inch lengths and used for cabin windows. From contributor B: I had a 40" bur oak that was hollow on the bottom 8'. I cut 2' long sections like firewood and set them on end, filled with dirt, and the wife plants flowers and ivy in them. She loves them and when I make her happy - that is a good thing. From contributor O: Saw one in half, place a nice slab on top and use it for a bathroom sink/vanity. Would you like to add information to this article? Interested in writing or submitting an article?
