How to Drill Out A Stump for A Table

[35remington]

A guy from Church was drilling a hole to secure an elictrical junction box, it caught on something spun around and bust a bone in his hand. It's been in a cast for 3-4 weeks now.....

Have you looked into using a adz? Not sure of the spelling. It's a type of axe..

I was looking on woodcarving illustrated. Some guy suggested a hole saw. Then use a chisel to break the piece off.

That made me think of maybe trying to find a core sample bit......

I have looked into an adz. If I was splitting the log open to remove material, it would be perfect. However, my goal is to keep the log intact, so it's not much use.

I'd make a stock out of it. Purty wood.

Got hold of another stump yesterday. Thinking this one will be my ashtray, or a gift table. The wood is very dense (oak? not sure) and it weighed 93 pounds at the start.

Trying a combination of mud on the parts I don't want burned and using my leaf blower to accelerate the fire at times.

Using a fan speeds up the process probably ten-fold. You really have to babysit it though.
