I am trying to find a chamferboard that when looking at if from side on profile, runs from 16mm at the fattest down to 10mm at it's thinnest.
The workman who was to replace these, had a look in a couple of recycled timberyards but was unable to locate it. He suggested it would be cheaper if I went and sourced it and then he would install once I located the product.
I'm in Brisbane, can anyone help me with some suggestions as to where the best place would be to find this type of chamferboard.

Thank you in advance.

Finlaysons or Bretts may have it. Is it a chamferboard or weatherboard?

try building secondhand dealers, the one down at Nerang had quite a few of that sort of thing a while back.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I've gone to a few second hand timber and demolition yards today, but no luck sourcing what I need.

However I did find out that they are very rare, probably Baltic pine stuff they had lying around just after the 2nd World War.
They not actually a chamferboard but a very thin tapered weatherboard with the chamferboard type lip on it.

It looks like I'm going to have to find someone to make them for me.
Any suggestions/recommendations as to where I can go to get this done?
