I have made a piece of garden art from a length of tree branch (gumtree) about 8" (200mm)wide and 12"(300mm)tall. I want to stand it up in the flower bed of the garden. To hold it in place I was going to drill a hole up the centre of the bottom and place it over a steel rod stuck in the ground. What nifty suggestions have you for weather proofing or rot proofing the base where it touches the ground?. I don't want to use any chemicals. The top will have a roof-like protection. Thanks, davy
