Black mold on tree stump

9 years ago

Hi there,

we live in Florida and I saved some tree stumps from the hurricane last year ( September 2016) to make into side tables.

Full disclosure: First time doing this, not a gardener, not handy and not good at DIY. But I Do gaze longingly at houzz and Pinterest!

However when i took the bark bark off yesterday there was black mold on them.

I dried them in the garage, which was maybe my first mistake.

Are they salvageable?


Pictures included.

I already bought polyurethane.


Any advice would be appreciated


thank

you!
