Well the obvious is a table lamp as you have a hole right up the middle. Either turn this for the stem and make a base or leave this as it is with a little clean up to keep the patina and then make a base and try to age it to match.

I didn’t see you there last night Kevin. Sorry I missed you.
The leg is a nice piece of oak & I think the obvious choice is a lamp or a pen if Phil can supply a kit with a 20mm tube.:funny:

Is it tapered? It looks like it from the image.

Like others have said, it would make a nice big pepper grinder, although I don't know what the kits are like and whether you would need to adapt them.

I have made a tall Oil Candle in the past, which went down well as a gift for the missus :thumbs:
