    Default Where to have Jarrah timber cut into simple boards? (Perth area)

    Perhaps you can point me towards a cutting service in/around Perth that allows me to do the following:

    I got some Jarrah timber directly from a tree that I seek to have cut into simple boards which I then have polished or even finish myself at home. The diameter is about ~20-25cm and the piece is roughly 30cm long. So perhaps 15 or so boards.

    Who is able to do this economically, and roughly what costs am I looking at?

    Thank you very much for your advise!

    Join your local mens shed and do it yourself on their bandsaw. They will help you if you've never done it before.

    I think you are over estimating how many boards you will get from that small branch
    You have not allowed for sapwood and saw kerf, I would think that you should get , maybe 8 to 10 pieces max , remember that after cutting , you will have to run them through a thicknesser and clean them up.
