Timber which is sawed into planks but which still has 'natural' edges, possibly with bark still attached.Smile [:)]

Thanx Tinabee

Need some waney oak to make rustic surrounds for our new doorways. Will ask for "bardage" & see what I get!

If you do get hold of what you want Postie, be very careful that you're not bringing woodboring insects into your house, the bark and sapwood on 'waney' edged timber is ideal habitat for the wee critters.
