Raw Blackwood
Hello
Just wondering if raw blackwood is worth anything. I am cutting down a large tree and wanting to know what it is worth.
Thank you

I wouldn't mind getting some blackwood at $40/cube. Could be some fun cutting it up and sharing it around with the guys here.

If it is big and sound it could be worth quite a lot of money. Try Tim Kennedy of Bowerbird SDalvaged Timbers at Millgrove. mobile: 0402260427.

Usually you just give the stuff to other members of the Woodwork forums.
Ha ha, just joking.
PTC is right, the price just varies a bit from place to place."Last year I said I'd fix the squeak in the cupbaord door hinge... Right now I have nearly finished remodelling the whole damn kitchen!"

It is a realy beautiful timber, and very hard but cuts clean. Any wood worker should try to get some and have a go as it makes very striking furniture.

If its Acacia melanoxylon (real blackwood) it is reasonbly valuable and used mostly in expensive (if overpriced) fine furniture. We burn it in Tassie (I don't) it throws a good heat and burns to a very fine white ash.
If you never made a mistake, you never made anything!
