    Hi, no I got it from the lake I used to manage (my dad brought it round as he still looks after it), they had a large delivery of it from a saw mill; all the outside parts of the tree trunks that are no good for making planks. Its used at the fishing lake for holding banks up or making the fishing spots so they look natural. The pieces I got were the smaller ones that weren't usuable at the lake.

    Funnily enough I have made a few bird boxes with it too :blue thumb:

    You could see if you have a local sawmill as its just waste to them, I'd imagine you'd get it pretty cheap or even free..:blue thumb:
