wooden branch mounts

I've been looking for a number of mounts that are at least 3" thick, hardwood, for orchids, 10" or so in length. I can't find anything like them anywhere - everything I find is way too narrow. Bundling several together would not work. Does anyone know of a source?

 

I don't think those will work for this. Need something unweathered so far, with no salt or pine residues. I did look at chiolla but it's usually too thin and always too porous. I need hardwood's resistance to moisture.

 

Yes, but I'm specifically trying to avoid cork for this; hardwood is what I'm thinking will work best; cork was not satisfactory for this in the past, though I do have many plants on cork.

 

And where, exactly, can I get this in 3" x 10" sections?

 

3" x 10". Each piece. It can be longer if necessary; I can always cut it down to 10" long, but has to be at least 3" in diameter.

 

Yeah, I have a plant on one now (L.anceps), so I know they're out there, but all I can find is 1" thick and that's not nearly thick enough. I have some of those with twig epiphytes for them, but these will be for walkerianas/nobiliors. I just keep thinking I'm not searching the right way to find them...

 

Where is this "Chuck's Mounts"?

 

I don't know where I'd get cedar logs, but I have used some of my extra cedar shingles from the bundle I bought to repair house shingles, and so far the plants haven't died, so I suppose it's ok, but would have to research it before putting more valuable plants on it to be sure. And, of course FIND ithe logs.
