    Default Hooped pine in the Geelong area???

    Looking for a source (not the actual trees) of hooped pine or something similar in Geelong (dont want to travel to Melb unless I have to).

    I am making some chopping boards using redgum and hooped pine and really love the contrast in colors. Unfortunately I have run out of the pine!! Can anyone point me either at a supplier (need about 50mm thick stuff) or a similar coloured wood (simply finishing with mineral oil).

    I have hoop pine in 150x150 100x100 150x37 150x27 100x50 but I am in Melbourne. If you want similar colour I have heaps of poplar (aspen if you are a septic).

    Depends on how much you are after. If you only want a board Shiva me timbers in Kororoit creek Rd Williamstown have it for sale for $3600/m3. If you want ~$300 or more I'll sell it for $2000/m3. Sorry but it takes me 1.5 hours to get to my wood and home again.
