Thread: timber prices

That's a veeery broad question there

It'll differ from place to place

what sized timber or just a general price per cube then you will have to add labour costs for miling.

where abouts? the further form a mill you are the more it will cost.

i would not ask for red mahogany as you will get charged more than if you ask for red stringybark whitch is the same timber (methinks).

Between $2000 and $5000 per cubic metre.

Weisy was right, actually. E. Resinifera is also known as red stringybark. Possibly my favourite eucalypt timber.

takns eador i thaught i was right

as usual

Red Stringybark Euc macrorhyncha. Wood: Sapwood pale brown up to 5cm wide, susceptible to attack by Lyctus borers; heartwood light pink-brown, moderately fine textured , grain often interlocked, slow to dry, moderately durable; density about 900kg m3

Red Mahogany Euc resinifera. Wood: Sapwood pale red, susceptible to attack by Lyctus boreres; heartwood dark red, moderately coarse texured, grain some-what interlocked, easy to work, finishes well, durable; density about 960kg m3.

Seems to me to be two different timbers, apparently known by the same name in some parts of Oz, no wonder we get confused.
