    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.
    Regards

    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.

    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
