I don't know if this will help you, but here's another idea instead of
real wood...

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] logs for exhibit in fireplaces

I looked in the List's archive and found some suggestions for artificial

logs, but since we would be filling several fireplaces, artificial logs 
would cost more than we can afford at this point.

Has anyone experimented with treating real logs in some way - heat, 
cold, chemicals, etc. - to make them safe for exhibition? 

Thanks for sharing any information you might have!
