tree slices/discs

[martin54]

Sorry don't know if these have a specific name which doesn't help search for them & I know its a bit of a long shot but hopefully someone can help.
Anyone know where I might be able to buy some bits of tree trunk from? Did think about sneaking out with a chainsaw in the middle of the night before anyone suggests it lol.
Idealy looking for something that has already been dried, doesn't need to be kiln dried although that wouldn't matter, air dried would probably be enough.
Need to be somewhere around the 12 to 15 inch diameter & somewhere around 2" thick but if I have to buy thicker stumps & cut them down myself that would be ok.

Clive I did think about that just after the sneaking out at night but didn't pursue it because that would be green timber & I was really hoping to be able to find something that had been dried, that was before I discovered that there didn't seem to be many other options though so might be worth further investigation thanks.
Got a couple of sawmills to try & phone as well to see if they do anything.

A few of the tree surgeons in this area have stock piles of old tree trunks that they cut up later for firewood etc. Good luck with the project Clive

Try "wood carving blanks" in either eBay, Amazon or Google...
