Wooden tree trunks

I want to draw a rough wooden tree trunk like this but don’t know where to start. Can anyone give me an idea or method to solve the problem?
Thank you very much for your help

Draw curves, multipipe and then shrinkwrap everything….

what is the end result you are trying to get? Rendering, 3d print? CNC part?

I want to 3D print
Do you have any way to do that? help me

I think martin was on to something…

use subd for the trunk, then add the bark with projected curves, pipes of different diameter and then shrinkwrap it all and see how close you can get-

the correct way to do this is with a sculpting program like zbrush or 3dcoat where you can sculpt using a texture.

Following what people have already suggested:
Hope this is sheds some light on how to approach it.

If you need the fine detail of the curves… then you would need a sculpting program as Kyle mentioned:
