Hi,

If you want to use a slice across a tree trunk stabilise it with PEG
(polyethylene glycol) to stop it drying out and cracking. Should be
available from wood turners supplies.

You could use normal antifreeze (ethylene glycol) though it's highly
toxic, and will stain the wood if it's got dye in it.

cheers,
Pete.

They use MDF for this in Scandinavia apparently. A special grade of course
but might be worth a web search.

I wouldn't recommend going down to Homebase to buy MDF board for
mounting outside though! Would last all of 5 seconds when the
inclement weather comes in.
