How did you go about this if you don't mind me asking? We recently had a 3' diameter Elm taken down and I left 6' of stump standing. My daughter wanted me to carve it into an owl but having never done that, I'm going to flatten a large recess, carve columns that are "supporting" the recess and then carve our address into the flat area but don't have the slightest idea how to carve our address with a router.
