Whats wrong with your own local Mountain Ash, or Mountain red gum, or Sydney Blue gum, or Mountain Stringy bark ?

No, I haven't found a source yet. I can get dressed timber from Trend or Mathews, but it's expensive. Appreciate any help or advice you can offer.

cheers,

I'd be happy with these, but don't know where I can get it in the rough dimensions I need for a workbench. Any suggestions? Most of my timber has come from Trend or Mathews. I'm looking for something a bit cheaper.

cheers,
