    Default perth timber?

    where do you buy properly dried timber in perth.preferably south of river.
    everything Ive got from two major hardware stores ends up warping.
    Mind you Ive only ever gone for pine (and ply)is that a problem in itself?
    not brave enough to muck around with anything else yet.

    If you are gunna use pine I've had more luck with Construction grade pine than regular pine. Also the pine I bought from Colli's a few years back seemed OK.

    These days I'm mostly milling my own or buying from salvage yards.

    Cheers

    Hi Forunna,

    I have in the past also sourced timber from Colli's. Also found Morgan's Timbers had a good range of species, and they only sell timber. Both are, (or were South, in Bibra Lake). A lot of timber at Bunnies is more like twisties. Best of luck.

    Cheers
