hi steve had a measure up today the biggest round i`ve got is about 25"/sorry m8.will keep an eye out though.has it gotta be oak?

[Steve Bullman]

No it doesn't have to be oak....it's just we know that works well. I should imagine poplar would probably work ok. I'll try do some digging and find out what other people have used

Have seen people using thicker disks of wellingtonia. Easier to shift, easier to find @ 36"+. Some kind of band strap (pallet strapping kind of stuff) might help it last, or the disk off the bottom would be harder to split with the twisted grain. Might be worth a try......
