Can stone outdoor ottomans be used as outdoor anvil bases?
Stone outdoor ottomans are known for their durability and aesthetic appeal, but can they double as outdoor anvil bases? The answer depends on the stone's density and weight. While some stone ottomans may be sturdy enough to support light anvil work, they are not typically designed for heavy forging. For occasional use, a thick, solid stone ottoman could provide a stable surface, but for professional blacksmithing, a purpose-built anvil base is recommended. Always ensure the stone can withstand repeated impact without cracking or shifting.
