Thread: What to do with 3 down pine trees

Hi all , I am new here and hopefully I am posting this in the right area if not I apologize.

Here goes:

I had to take down 3 pine trees last weekend due to a bad location and would love to use the sections that I have from them which each are about 3-4 feet logs (about 15 of them) .
I was thinking of making a log looking bridge for an upcoming koi pond I am making or possibly just a pathway
where half of each log is buried.

My question is this:

What do I do with the logs before I construct, do I sand off the bark and preserve logs with a sealer?

Also any ideas for their use outside appreciated.




Thanks
Ron
