Turning-related online shops in Oz
Being without a steam-powered carriage I've had to do a lot of online shopping to feed the turning addiction (well that's my story and I'm sticking to it ).
I prefer to deal with Aussie crowds even if I can do cheaper from o/s because if all of us do turn into global consumers there simply won't be the quick local turnarounds and locally-informed advice that changes a transaction into a service. K, rant over.
What I look for is
- a decent website
- prompt replies to questions
- prompt despatch
- willingness to bargain or take things back that don't work as advertised.
Below is a list of folk I'd happily deal with again.
In no particular order, and without any financial or familial connection with any of these (regrettably!):
www.cws.au.com - Jim
www.gpw.au.com - Gary
www.lumberbunker.com.au - Steve
www.timbecon.com.au
www.woodworks.com.au - Mike
www.mik.com.au - Michael
www.thewoodsmith.com.au - Len and Phillip
.Cheers, Ern

If you are looking for some good figured Tas Myrtle and Sassafras at a whole sale price ring Dave (Sassy) on 03 62971101 evenings only.
Dave has a good selection and will sell it by the apple box full,i can vouch for the Quality and figure in the blanks which are all waxed and under cover.

Good list, Ern! I'm also an Oz only shopper, by choice, and the only site I'd add to that list is:
http://www.addictivepenkits.com.au for pen kits & some very nice custom blanks. Brett (aka Froggie) has bent over backwards to help me.
