Thanks I got my 4 footer from a friend, who's friends with a guy who owns a saw mill :D Apparently I'm welcome to more free wood, as long as I give the saw mill a good plug when I publicly display my work! I haven't been back for more, the big guy is hardwood and hasn't been touched for a while :lol: Im guessing shipping would be prohibitively pricey, given the size/weight. Many people on here get their logs through tree lopping companies, call around and see what you get - worst case scenario they say no! :wink:
