Our daughter gave my wife this ceramic birdbath so I had to come up with a secure way to mount it outside. The under side has 2 shallow holes from casting but the material around them would not support any means to attach to the wooden base so I just used 2 shot pegs to locate then Zip ties in 3 locations to hold it down. The table top and the column are turned from Black ash then mounted on a black cherry stump with a 1 inch pipe hidden inside.
