Thread: Buying small quantities of good timber

To a major extent.... unless you pick up off the street, you will pay for what you get.
Wood shows cost exhibitors, so sometimes they have to charge a little extra for the products.

I'll give you an example.
For $50, you can get:
Up on the farm a full trailer of offcuts and shorts etc. from the offcut/scrap piles
In Sydney, I can fill your boot with shorts and timber difficult to sell.
In Sydney, I can give you some a dozen interesting shorts including 10mm burl slices, jarrah, silky oak, rosewood, mahogany, red cedar qld maple
In Sydney, you can buy 1 or burls
In Sydney at several shops, you can get around 2-3 super foot of top quality specialty timber.

So... you will generally have to pay for what you seek and sometimes you have to compromise.
See you at the www show on the Sunday, that is when you may get some good specials, or come to Cremorne and I'll 'fill your boot'
