hi all, is there a good place to buy blackwood in Adelaide? Would I be better off going to Melbourne? (I'm 1/2way between) Only want maybe 1/4 of a cube :confused: enough for a buffet.

Cheers

Australian Furniture Timbers at www.afttimbers.com (http://www.whitepages.com.au/wp/listingLink.do?url=www.afttimbers.com&logData=) will help.

Beware of vendors supplementing an order with Silver Wattle. DAMHIKT!

Hi Redgy,

You could try Estate Timber, College Street Port Adelaide (82410500). I believe they stock rough sawn blackwood.
I spoke to them a couple of years ago and they seemed very friendly and helpful and their prices at the time we reasonable.

Thanks guys. I gotta go to Adelaide in November anyway so I will give Estate a call. If thats no good I'll head over to AFT.

Cheers

Ottos off Magill Road had some Tassie Blackwood guitar neck blanks last time I was there. A bit overpriced at $50 - $60 each and the service there is a bit quirky.
