Hi everybody,

First time poster here. I was wondering if somebody how any idea how i could make one of these outdoor pencil sculptures that i could concrete into the ground. I'm just not sure how they even were able to cut these and if bunnings sells the correct type of wood for something like this.

Hope somebody could help. Thank you!

Hello @hareeshk94 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about the giant outdoor wooden pencils.

If the pencils you are looking at have lasted several seasons, odds are they are made of 75mm 3.0m Pole H4 Treated Pine Round CCA. These are round fencing posts that have the ends cut at an angle to mimic the look and feel of outdoor pencils. Please note that these are treated pine posts, I highly recommend painting them with primer and topcoat all around to reduce the amount of chemical exposure. If you don't have the tools to cut the tip, I suggest engaging the services of a handy person to cut the timber tips for you.

Let me call on our experienced members @Dave-1 and @Nailbag for their recommendations.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
