Lawn Seats Built on Tree Stumps
These Practical Lawn Seats Show the Possibilities of Stumps as Supports for This Purpose. The Conservation-Chair Design Is Especially Interesting
A practical use to which stumps, left from the felling of trees, are put in a city park is as supports for lawn benches. This obviates the need of grubbing them out, while the work of preparing them to receive the seats is less than would be required to remove the stumps. Of course, the location of the stump will determine whether it is worth while as a support for a seat, or had better be grubbed out. Many designs are possible, and the position and size of the stumps available will suggest suitable construction. The woodwork for the seats is simple, and the benches can be made removable for the winter if desired.—C. L. Meller, Fargo, N. D.
