Stumps,stumps, stumps

I just know this forum will have fun ideas on what to do with stumps. I have this concept of using them as coffee table by the firepit / support for flower pots / marking an area in the backyard ... and so on, but since they'll be outside I think I should seal them somehow.

What should I use? Wax, polyurethane...???

Thank you in advance, also any idea for innovative uses will be appreciated.

Use low ones for footrests, scatter some around the garden for seats.

I've got some ideas for stumps and also branches. Check out my blog. I've included some photographs of items made from branches and strumps. Examples includes hand rails and planters.

Thanks clturner3, looked at your blog and loved your ideas.
I feel like investing in polyurethane stocks, this is how much I used to get that thick, glossy look on a stump.

You might try a clear sealer first and then marine varnish. If boats last, a stump should. I have seen them as benches, chairs, pot holders, places for kids to climb and jump from...if you think it will work...it will.
