peterbirdman1 206 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hi Tomo go to your nearest undertakers. All coffins are made from oak they are usually glad to get rid of all the off cuts. Thats were i get mine from. Quote Link to post
Tyla 3,179 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 im a carpenter and i use the offcuts from oak skirtings. Your best bet would be to try your nearest sawmill, they will probably give you offcuts for free Quote Link to post
