    Default burl slices/logs/weathered wood wanted

    Hi everyone, I have posted a similar request in the Timber Forum, but thought I'd place it here too as I am looking for wood to create clocks and hope someone can help me with much appreciated advice or info...

    Does anyone know where I can get old seasoned logs approx between 200mm - 300mm diameter (any wood type such as birch etc.), which can be put through a bandsaw to create 1-2 inch thick rounds/slices – hopefully with bark still intact. And they don’t need to be perfectly round – elliptical or odd shapes make it interesting too.

    Also, if anyone could tell me where I might find old recycled/weathered timber such as fence posts, palings or weathered off-cuts they might have lying around to create interesting shaped slices for my artwork.

    I’d prefer to keep within a 50km radius from Melbourne if at all possible please.


    Thanks in advance for any information.

    Thanks Bob.
    I'm trying all avenues at present, and have yet to hit a "mother lode"...or even a nugget.

    Can be frustrating. However, good things come to those who scrounge around and ask. So, softly softly.

    Hi Birlgirl, maybe a hint to make a segmented ring, like I did with a tableclock which I made for our own 5 years ago,
    Here a picture of that tableclock.
    Best Regards, Ad
