Photos 3, 4 & 5 get out the Arbortec. Size about 30cm diameter.
Photos 6 & 7 Would like to turn this one. Size.. 25 x 20cm
Photos 8 & 9 Possibly turn this also. size about 60cm long x 25cm diameter.

Hi,
I can see why you specified polite suggestions, some of those shapes suggest the basis for some very impolite carvings, or is that just my evil thoughts entertaining me again.
RegardsHugh

Mirror idea, a good one.
Arbortech, very good idea.
last 2 , put a short stick in the hole and make a didge stand.
Or medium stick for table lamp.
Or a bigger stick and use for standing lamp base.

last pic I see what I think they call 440 friendly device, me - I'd look at a fancy pot as a double planter.

Numbers 4, 5, 6, & 8, bowls. Stumps have wonderful twisted grain. It may try your soul with tear out, but I have persisted and made some wonderful things that were the highest prices I have gotten for a turning.
First below, locust stump; second locust trunk.So much timber, so little time.

Some of them by the look of the shape wont allow much arranging and one looks like it would be good for finials only. What I often do is just leave somewhere I can see them and let time pass until something comes to mind. I don't care if it takes a couple of years to get some inspiration going
