    This is frustrating!

    Does someone not have something better to do? I've been searching for forty-five minutes and the internet is apparently unaware of 5he existence of these concrete fake logs.

    Help?

    Okey Dokey ... I'll bite.What bugs you so about artificial decorative'
    logs.Think about it.How many people go to the beach and lug around a
    nice wooden lounge chair.Like in the 50's and even 60's.
    Think the Movie - Some Like it Hot - { 1959 }.
    Today's it all Plastic beach chars.Maybe bamboo for those at the
    French Riveria.

    You could probably make those yourself, TC:

    Of course, you could use real logs, although you'd have to replace them now and then depending on the type of wood.

    It's frustrating that I can't find them.

    There's a local company that makes stuff. I'll ask them.

    I went to a local stone and premade concrete pavers supplier. She said that you can't get them anymore.

    Thanks everybody!

    I would imagine that some companies that do concrete garden statuary would be willing to do simple custom work.

    I'm glad you posted this because you've given me some great ideas for our own garden. My wife wants me to make her a new bed for her bearded irises and I've got enough dead oak and cedar trees on our property to make a border like that for her. I've always liked that look.

    Interesting bit of info. I'll have to find an occasion to nonchalantly drop that bit for public consumption. :)

    Only 3 1/2 more hours of sobriety left out here on the East Coast...



    I think I'm gonna crack open a few cold ones and make a pot of salsa tonight. We decided to experiment and grow a few Cherokee Purple tomato plants for the first time this year and the results have been an unqualified success - they're the best tomatoes I've ever had...

    [​IMG]

    I gotta get crackin' because we've got 19 more Better Boy plants that have to get picked tomorrow. I'm going to be up to my ears in tomatoes this weekend...

    Sounds like you're good, TC. Cylindrical molds shouldn't be terribly difficult to find or make.

    See the thingy be is dat me approach to pickin' up the galsy
    ain't a workin' too swell.Using my regular approach of Al Jolson
    impressions of sweet old tunes like :
    - Only Have Eyes For You -
    - About a Quarter to Nine -
    Just ain't cuttin' it no mores.Even Crosy & Hope,real Troopers
    and first class entertainers would bend an ear.
    Not today's toots.They want a sweatheart with a flock of Tattoos.
    And a job workin' at Starbucks or some trendy bar.
    Geez Louise the problem ain't on my side of the romance aisle.
    It's the cultural.And all the dopey TV shows.Either wacky sitcoms
    or brutal crime shows with killers and outrageous acts of torture.
    Like ... - You Ain't Heard nothin' yet -.
