Spotted gum, tallowood or blackbutt wanted in Melbourne

[slidingdovetail]

I am after about 3-6m of any one of these durable lightish timbers to use as the contrasting tongue in a table top join I am making from merbau in the photos below.

Unfortunately, I got ahead of myself and already half machined the groove in the lengths I am using so the size I am looking for needs to be at least 100mm x 22mm in 1.1m lengths.

I have various sizes of merbau window sill profiles and other pieces of merbau to swap.
I also have some pieces of red cedar, kdhw/tassie oak, oregon and even float glass (I will even cut it to size if needed) on offer to swap. I may even have some small slabs of red gum (if I decide to part with them) too.

Located in south east Melbourne suburbs.

If anyone is interested, lets talk.

Thanks all,
Priscilla

I've got plenty of 90 x 19 SG decking if that's of help. (inner west)

Sounds good,

Although I wont be able to use it for the tongues on these grooves (they are 50 x 22 so I need 100mm wide to span 2 pieces) I am still interested in your SG decking, I maybe able to use it for a shelf midway. Around 7-8 pieces of 1.3m lengths preferred.
Am wandering if you wanted to trade for timber I have or would you prefer to sell it? (Am I allowed to ask that on this forum?)
I don't mind either way, trade or cash.

i'd be happy to swap for merbau.
Maybe, if you are down this way (near Footscray) for some other reason, you can have a look. If it suits your needs, we can do a deal.

No problem,
I am hoping to head that way on saturday (bargain hunting at the Laverton markets :-D), so maybe we could arrange a time.

I can take photos and sizes of the merbau on offer/you could send me sizes you are looking at or if you'd like to come to Nunawading to look at the pieces yourself. Anyway is good for me.

I will pull out the SG in the next day or so and take some photos.
I would be interested in the Merbau sill material if it is of reasonable lengths (>1200mm) and reasonably straight.
cheers

Sorry Pricilla,
I did not get back to you in time.
I will add pics here. If you're still interested maybe next week?
These are not select grade. They are pieces I have not used because they contain gum veins, or cracking, etc, so they may not be up to your requirements. (good for tenons/tongues etc).
Anyway, that's up to you.
cheers,

wanted for tonges? Then what does it matter, if they are strong enougth- unless they are seen at the ends-and then why? Sizing quoteted is also ????? surely 20-30 mm plenty.
