The picture below shows a piece of Beech I have which will be dried properly, soaked and smoothed out before use. I cut the 4 pieces (legs) which would be holding it up then thought I will make it lean back a bit more and without thinking it through cut some off and took it off balance so I then had to cut them back further to level things up again and am now left with a piece that's probably a little shorter than I'd like an the 4 legs. The masking tape just shows the outline of the tank it would be going in and the pen mark is the overall height of the aquarium (600x500x360mm LxWxH).
So what are other peoples thoughts? - Do I give up on this piece of wood and try to hunt another piece or 2 down, if I was to put the wood on the bottom of the tank another couple of inches would be gone too (could I stack it on some eggcrate or similar). I'm just trying to get things a little sorted so I can get the wood dried out in readiness.
I'm looking to create something a little along the lines of 'escape' by Lauris by that I mean the wood (but different) and gravel look as shown in the photo below, the planting I'm thinking will be different also.
