Logs to match MTL logging cars?

I am building a sawmill to service my MTL logging train. I have a log pond, as yet without water, that I want to fill with logs matching the MTL logs. Anyone know if such logs are available and where I could find them? I don’t want real logs [twigs] since they tend to shrink away from the Envirotex as they dry.

Chuck Ellis in Austin used Bird perches he bought at a pet store for his log mill

Pretty convincing looking
I’ll see if i can find a photo

The ones I found at Petco were 1/2" and larger in diameter. Pretty big for N scale. Do you know if smaller diameters are available?

Have you sent an email tp M-T and asked them about extra logs? They seem to sell all of their parts…

Their logs are molded in groups of three or more. I need single logs for floating in the pond. I might be able to cut the stacks apart, but I probably couldn’t salvage more than one or two out of each stack.
