I got a request for a Gnome Roof from a very nice lady that found me on a neighborhood Social Media site. I decided to help her and make her a Gnome Roof for a stump in her yard!The stump is Crepe Myrtle (about 12” D. The trunk was not flat so I had to find a way to cut it flat with the only tool I had… an 8” electric “extend it” pole saw trimmer! I can't believe it work so well on a somewhat hard wood! .
In this photo you can see the slice i cut off on the right.
.I had to come up with a way to make a level cut line around the stump so I made this jig and used my level to make marks all around the trunk. Then I connected the dots!I used my pole saw to make the cutout for the KEY. Lot's of gouging and chiseling! It has to be level sitting in the cavity.
.
I made a KEY that mounts on in the center of the trunk. After I set the roof on the KEY a 1/4 turn on the roof and it locks the roof in place.
