    Thumbs up Free Native Timbers

    HI Guys and Gals

    I have a massive wood pile in backyard which I need to get rid of. There are some good sized iron barks and other native Eucalypt species. The timber was lopeed about two years ago so it is nice and dry and aged. If anyone is interested in coming out and taking some away for wood turning, bush furniture or even just firewood. Pls PM me . I am located at Jimboomba just north of Tamborine in South East QLD. You may need to get hold of a chainsaw as some of the pieces are quit large and there is also some whole trees in the mix. Trunk sizes up to say 400mm. I would like the wood to go to some use rather then me just throwing a match in the mix. Approx 30 trees all up. Hope this is some use to someone.

    regards

    You mean you removed the phone number, so nobody else could get in there sooner, or offer something better later on

    Gav,

    How soon are you torching it? I'll be up in Brissie for the first Ashes test in November. How far are you from the Gabba?

    G'day NVR501,

    Always on the wrong place at the wrong time. I was just up in Jimboomba visiting family a few weeks ago damnit. But I don't think Virgin would've let me carry a swag load of timber back to Melbourne with me.

    HappyHammer, Jimboomba is about 45 minutes from the Gabba.

    HH,
    don't think he'll be torching it just yet, he won't get a permit for a few days, they've just issued a "fire weather" warning for that area.
    (up here, on the other hand, things are just drying out enough for us to start torching the countryside :eek: )

    Darn, im close enough but have no real (reliable) transport - especially none capable of carrying much in the way of timber.

    A pity, being a wood-addicted uni student is painful - expensive habbit which forces me to choose between instant noodles for a week+ or a coupla boards/tools here and there.

    (well theres my first post on these boards after 6months of browsing around everyday heh, ill have pics pretty soon of my efforts with the darkside)

    Hi All

    I wont be torching anytime soon as it is to dry up here, now its windy as a biotch and I will be going away a fair bit over the next month or so for work. So not likley to torch it until next year some time. I would also like to make the pile a little smaller before lighting it up as it is close to other trees at the moment. So if people are going to be around and have a chainsaw and a trailer its all yours, well as much as you can carry. I also have one school which is interested in some of it at the moment.

    Cheers

    Gav

    Gav,

    how about getting a mobile miller in to saw it up? sounds like you have some good sized logs which would be able to be converted into great peices for projects??

    Jimboomba is about the border of my travelling for milling, but there would definately be guys located close to you (admittedly the city millers charge much more than us country lads)

    This way your pile would be reduced to waste/trim cuts and the timber could then be put to good use in some projects.

    Here's a thought, can you post me a pic of the pile and let me know if it's a truck full - ie. 12-15 ton? If so, then it would be worth sending a truck to get it all. I rougly get a truck a month from Bris-Vegas, but I need about 3 times that just for my own use.
    I love my Lucas!! ...just ask me!
    Allan.

    Also has too much work to go looking for more at the moment, tempting though these might be.
