Sources of real log loads...?

I've used, in descending order of choice, silver birch, hawthorn, dead magnolia ( don't prune live stuff from the tree), laburnum (but ? poisonous), various conifers and... the Xmas tree (not very realistic).

Following the tree-felling that took place up back a coupla months ago the chaps have not yet cleared the site. I don't suppose, no, that's asking too much

Coooor all that fire wood....Just a tad to far to come and get it

Right, having done a bit of investigation and phoning around, now knowing what to ask about thanks to several of the suggestions made on this thread, I think I've got a lead on somewhere I can hopefully get something suitable! May take a quick run out tomorrow and check it out, if successful then I'll report back here.

Thanks all,

Jon.

I'm surprised Dragon hasn't nipped in here with a joke about 'tree fellers'

Two Irishmen walking through a wood, and they see a sign saying "Tree Fellers Wanted"; Paddy looks at Mick and says "will ye look at that, if Shaun had been with us we could've got the job!"

Was that the one...?

Jon.

Yup

I use buddleia weed for mine. Its fairly straight and about the size I want.

And there's plenty more for anyone else that wants some.

Its all an illusion. Believe in what you see! You can use anything that looks like lumber.

How about a lumbar wood stool?

 

[pugwash]

No, a stool looks like a piece of poo, and if used often enough smells like one too :bleh:
No, back to the thread (phew) butterfly bush is the one to go for, and if you plant one in your own garden 'ware the warning I made previously - it is seriously invasive. :Looser:

If there is a market for realistic G scale logs I may start selling them on eBay.....
In fact if I sold G scale fence pickets I'm sure I'd make a motza, they would come bundled with a wire twist around them...
