OMG I want those exact stained sleepers for our front path too! Please share where/how you acquired them?
Hey mate
They're railway sleepers. We got them from "recycled timber factory" here in newcastle. All up it's 4 sleepers - cut in half to make them shorter, and then cut in half to make them thinner. They aren't stained - this is the cut inside face of the sleeper facing upward.
They were $50 each I think, plus $100 for the cutting and delivery, so $300 all up. We didn't get any comparisons. They DO give splinters though, so keep that in mind for shoeless walking. We need to sand them a little bit... but it's lower down on the priority list at the moment.
