White beech, yep! Saw a stack of it yesterday at Morgan Timbers in Perth

Don't know what it would cost to ship it to you, but at least there's a lead for you!

Mal at Boutique Timber on NSW N Coast has white beech.... you missed him at the Melbourne www show last week. Price will be OK. He recently supplied 2 cube to Wauchope TAFE for a boat restore project.
