    Default 2 1/2" to 3" thick timber blocks or slabs, elm, sycamore, birch, anything (almost)

    Hi, i'm after slabs or blocks of timber 3" thick for toymaking
    Woods like elm but anything considered.
    The woods need to be not as hard as australian gums and have 'interesting' grains.
    Minimum size blocks would be 60x100x250 and optimal sizes would be 70x125x300.
    Bigger is fine, 3x4 posts might be fine,
    anything considered....

    At the moment i am after small amounts (1 slab 2.4 long x 800 wide x 75thick - or similar volume of any composition) as a trial with a view to a larger order at regular intervals.
    Or any odd bits lying around or anything

    Woods of a density similar to elm would be considered and a variety of timbers would be even better.

    I'm east of melbourne so only contact if your close or able to post/ship.
    Thanks
    It's for making these........

    Our WA Sheoak always gives an interesting grain and colour, I can work out a costing for you if interested.
