Tree Toad Stools

[William Fourness]

Was wondering if there was a use for them big toad stools that grow on trees. Kirt fallen a bunch of large beech on his logging site and I was impressed with the size of them and wondering if there was a use for them.

Thanks

Ya know...I remember when I was a kid, growing up in PA, people would take those things and carve them. I'd be interested what they would do on a lathe as well. Hmmm. That would be pretty cool.

If you end up listing them, I might want to try it.:)

I know of a lady that paints on them, they are really nice. Wish I had one to show ya.

In the old days they dried them, impregnated with salt peter (potassium nitrate), and used them to start fires with flint and steel.
