I found this Mesquite stump in the Texas Hill Country.  Mated together with a slice off a piece of another stump it made a beautiful end table.  I spent a couple of days carving off the bark and shaping wiht an angle grinder.   The center of the slab had a hole which was filled with tiny shells and filled with epoxy.   The top is fastened through pocket holes from the bottom with lag bolts,   Mesquite has a reddish tint so I finished with 5 coats of clear spar varnish.   It’s heavy (about 35lbs) and use it outside (on a covered deck)  so I don’t worry about the wind blowing it away!
