Thread: Cypress pine wanted for framing

I've got 3 x 3 metres long DAR $70 each. I can get them to Boutique Timbers Port Macquarie if you can collect from there.

Thanks TL

I have used it to build a wood rack in my shed and am now doing something else with it. I like the look and smell of it. It is easy enough to work except that it is quite knotty. It is supposed to be very durable. I got it at Caboolture, just north of Brisbane, but that's probably no closer than Sydney for you.

Sustainable Cypress macrocarpa framing timber

Still not local...

Thanks for the tip (Sustainable Cypress macrocarpa framing timber) but these guys told me that they were only interested in large pieces of timber and 100 x 50 would make to much dust for them, thought it was an interesting reply.
