Solid tree stumps make a good base for an anvil - but you have to cut them flat.
What kind of stumps are they ? Walnut and maple can be rough cut into about a 6" X 6" X 3' and sold for rifle stock blanks...really high quality with lots of pattern and distinctive grain patterning can command top dollar...just a thought...
the really big stuff is white oak, then it's a mix of poplar, evergreens, locust, walnut, not much maple I can see in these woods. Sometimes some cherry and apple but not here. Used to be a lot of dogwoods, that certainly makes nice firewood.
But it's the larger pieces that can be sawed with my 24 bar in some kind of simple jig.
I guess it would be best to wash/pressure wash the trunk before trying to cut it, lot of grit everywhere.
Pine stumps are excellent sources for "Fat Lighter".
