    You may want to try making a laminate block (butchers block) for
    your forging. I haven't actually made one myself, but have a friend
    that cut old hardwood pallets (end grain up) to his specific length (
    a friend with a table saw helps), and formed his block using Gorilla
    glue and drywall screws as clamps. He loves it, square sides and
    bottom makes it very stable, and easy to store. You can assemble it
    on site, so no hauling logs, and pallets are free in many places.
    Your only cost is the glue, and a few cents worth of screws. 

Hope this helps.
