Cypress pine wanted for framing
Can anybody tell me were I can buy Cypress pine for framing eg 100x50mm. I am on the mid north coast of NSW and have only found it in Sydney at this stage. So transportation will be slow or expensive. Dose anybody know of a mill etc. Also if anybody has used it for framing any experience will also be much appreciated
Thanks TL

120mmx 100mm
I've got 3 x 3 metres long DAR $70 each. I can get them to Boutique Timbers Port Macquarie if you can collect from there.

I have used it to build a wood rack in my shed and am now doing something else with it. I like the look and smell of it. It is easy enough to work except that it is quite knotty. It is supposed to be very durable. I got it at Caboolture, just north of Brisbane, but that's probably no closer than Sydney for you.

Thanks for the tip (Sustainable Cypress macrocarpa framing timber) but these guys told me that they were only interested in large pieces of timber and 100 x 50 would make to much dust for them, thought it was an interesting reply.
