My taxi says that my elk will be coming home in about three weeks and I don't have a base yet. Got to thinkin gabout it and think it would look cool if I made a base for the pedestal out of a chunk of cedar. I'm thinking somewhere between 24" and 36" in diameter and about 24" tall. Anyone here know of any options on where to aquire one? Don't have a fireplace so I don't need the rest of the tree!
