    Default Recycled Floor Boards

    I am planning to make a tool cabinet and was thinking to use maybe some recycled pallet, but the sizes aren't Ideal. Then I though you can get 85, 108, 135mm wide floorboards in 22 or 19mm thick. This would be much more suitable for what I am planning. Similar to the below

    Question is does anyone know of a jobsite where they would be either discarding offcuts 1200mm long, or pulling up old boards in a demolition. Someplace within a reasonable distance from Doncaster???

    Blue gum, jarrah, the fancy stuff, etc would be nice but I'd be happy if I could get some free Tassie Oak.


    Some thing to put my tools in as I make or restore them.

    The concrete slap would be very painful if I was installing it!
    I'm hopeless at making concrete flat
    But it will give me a nice flat area to build some walls in office for a client so I'm a happy chapy
