Thread: Cape York Ironwood - What is it?

Delivery is on for Wednesday next week, but I will confirm for you.

PM for address has been sent.

Got a job booked in for next Wednesday for a delivery to South Melbourne at midday, so could swing by TS's place after that to pick up to save you a trip Waldo

Can not wait for the next chapter..If I'd known the excitment ironwood created,we would not have let the fires go thru the 100 to 150 ton of ironwood we had a couple of years ago.Weipa uses ironwood for sleepers and the off cuts were just thrown away.The sleeper was 2400 x 200 x 150 and the trees it came out of were about 500 to 600 dia.Most times,could only get one sleeper per log. Dont leave the timber too long as I found out the hard way.Made an outdoor setting for Murluna station and well,the timber was 1 and the chisels 0. Was'nt much left of the chisels.Tried a plane,no use.Most cutting was done with a chain saw as power saws tend to smoke a little.Timber is very heavy,around 1m3 =1.9 ton.Thers a pub up the Cape that had barstools made for the public bar.I'm sure they did that so you could'nt pick them up and throw them.Ps just as a note be aware that this is a poisinous plant and every part of the plant is toxic.Leaves will knock for six young calfes

G'day Dj,

Thanks for the offer, I'd also arranged to go to Delta Timber, Port Melb, so I could kill two birds with one hit and Thumbsucker isn't far around the corner really.

No worries , I'll get you to pick up my 2 bits as well then if you could and I'll collect them from you on the way home

Easy done.

haosiliu235 money order came this morning. I will go and cash it at the post office and everything should be go.

I spoke to leo and he will be at my place between 12 and 2 p.m. this Wednesday.

I have an appointment from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

I'll be there no later than 2:00 it doesn't rain.

Waldo just doing sum ruff calculations If you are collecting 11 slabs with the average slab being 300 x 55 x 3000 mm it would come to a minimum of 1.138005 tones can your trailer handle that much weight?

G'day Thumbsucker,

it wouldn't, the car would, but not the trailer. I'll sort something out and PM back to you.

Do you want to borrow my trailer Waldo?

G'day Dj,

I was just in the throws of sending a PM. The trailer would be handy given the problem I now face. I'll send the PM anyway and let me know which is a better solution.

Okay Thumbsucker I've worked out things with Dj, and I'll see you about 1:00–2:00, but no later than 2:00.
