I want to have them re-sawn down the middle to make book matched boards for some boxes I want to make. Does anyone know someone in Melbourne or nearby that could do this? I am happy to pay a reasonable amount or if its an enthusiast I would consider giving some of the wood in exchange for the work, it really is very very nice 1/4 sawn timber.

Thanks in advance

You would have to look for someone with a bandsaw remill that is for sure, not many people would have a bandsaw capable of a 12 inch cut, and most band mills like the woodmizers and such only cut to 1 inch from their bed. You may find a local woodworking club that would have the capabilities. Perhaps try here CLUB EVENTS - News & Information - Woodwork Forums and look for clubs or members in the regions you can get to.

Short of that try some local cabbies (cabinet makers.)
