big marri slab

[david devine]

Hello all
I was just wondering if any of you, more experienced timber millers might be able to give me a rough idea what a W.A marri slab might be worth to sell .
It is 1200 wide4200long 60mm thick,is nice and straight but has only been drying for about six months.The grain pattern is nice but nothing out of the ordinary .
I have been slabbing timber for a little while but havent tried to sell any as yet.
Any input greatly apreciated.

Depends. A lot less this March than last, I suspect. I attended an auction last weekend at Witchcliffe where I bought some Tuart (two lots), some (Tassie) Bluegum and a Jarrah beam 350x100x2500 or so. The ute (Navara 1t) was fair sagging at the rear, and the cost a little over $800. The Jarrah was $100.

there were lots of slabs of Tuart, Marri and Jarrah, I don't think many were over $300. A lot were passed in. I don't think the vendor was especially happy.

I look at what I got for my money, and I consider what a few scraps of Australian Oak for two end tables cost, and I count it a bargain.

I went to the calm auction early march and the prices were a fair bit down compared to there previous auction.
