    Default Hornibrook Bridge

    Wondering if any body can point me in the direction of some Hornibrook Bridge timber.

    Have a client who's house over looks Moreton Bay and has views of where the bridge used to be. He wants a table 2.8mx1m made from this timber. I contacted Moreton Bay Shire council but they are not selling any of what they have to people, only community groups and societies.

    I have included some quick designs to give an idea.



    Thanks in advance

    Tonight's Bris ch9 news ran a story on recycled timbers and hornibrook bridge timbers.

    Kennedy's (at Narangba ?) have some. Interesting thing is their website makes no specific mention of this but I imagine it will attract a premium price.

    missed the show but have a look at his web site in his news letters he condemed the supply of timber from the hornibrook bridge as contaminated and should not be used(sour grapes because some one else was getting it) . Now he would like to sell it?

    Default honibrook timber

    I know Roy Miller Wildwood were stocking it for a project we quoted flooring was over $200+gst psm so yes it is very expensive but in small amounts like a table still doable.

    Thanks for all the replies. Basically, Australian Architectural Hardwoods and/or Kennedy's are the place to go.

    Wild Wood Flooring at Milton source from AAH. The company that demolished the bridge "Ironbark Demolition" has told me that AAH and I quote direct from email

    "The sawmill is located in NSW and specialize in recycled hardwoods. They are the only sawmill that received the timber from the Hornibrook"

    Kennedy's assures me they can provide a "Chain of Custody Certificate" for this timber.

    So that is where it stands at the moment.

    how long was it pulled down we have had a lot of tallowood out of AAH in last 18 months,

    flooring was about 120m2 for 240wide nice stuff good lengths also got 65mm thick stair treads.

    i would trust AAH not other guy mentioned as they are know for supply resawn timber that is free of bolt holes, and defects not sure how that works
