I've recently had a lime tree cut down and I've kept the tree stumps to use as stools in the garden. I'm going to leave them to dry first and then treat them but I'm not sure what with. Any ideas?
If the stumps are still in the ground then they will rot from below anyway so pointless.
If the stumps are out and movable then leave them to dry out for the summer, keep them covered during the winter and use a normal garden furniture product next year.
It would probably be a good idea to paint the ends to stop the timber drying out too quickly and leaving you with what is basically firewood. Removing the bark is good too, it'll help the drying and grubs and the like tend to live just under the bark.
The wood will most likely need standing in a dish of treatment as well because lime isn't the most durable of timbers for garden furnature.
