Thread: Where to find furniture grade pine in melbourne?

Clear pine will cost an arm and a leg.
You can often economically use normal pine and just grade all defects out of it by docking between defects.

btw maybe your customer likes the knotty character of pine

expensive - but thats what you get if you want furniture grade

Aus Furniture Timbers

Brudda,

Matthews Timber in Rooks Road Mitcham sells Furniture grade Radiata. One mate told me their "normal radiata" was cheaper, straighter and drier than Bunnings radiata.

03 9874 1666

125 Rooks Rd
Vermont, Vic 3133

Thanks WB, that was one of the places I had thought of trying.

Now how come I dont find that hard to beleive.

Al :eek: :eek:

You could also look at the building wreckers - some bearers and joists were pine and they come in quite large cross sections, have very few nail holes and provided you have the means to resaw them can be very good timber.
Cheers
