    I'm looking for an old piece of timber that someone may have in their garden. It's for a fireplace like this.. [​IMG]

        We’ve done this. Try looking at old sleepers, reclamation yard or builders yards. There are ‘new’ oak sleepers available for about £20. Some builders suppliers have them and you can choose from the supply they have on hand. Forget garden centres selling sleepers; they are way over priced. Also check local oak suppliers; you may have to travel a bit but you could find what you want. They are often obscure sellers so do some research. If you’re not far from Sussex, I can recommend a couple.

          Try Dorset Reclamation behind the Shell petrol station at Bere Regis.
