Were do I buy real tree colums for the interior of my home? I've seen some great picture's but I'm having a problem finding a place that will sell them to me.

My husband built our log home 8.5 years ago. We did it without much research. We still have some unfinished projects to do here. We kind of got burned - out. I love the look of real trees for the colums for the interior. What do you treat the trees with to make sure you don't have rotted or pest infective wood?
