Ironbark
I may be picking up a couple of lengths of ironbark which will require slabbing. Trouble is the size of them will mean that they will need to be cut on site in my backyard. Any body know of some one who can slab on site as the timber will be to big to move once its delivered. Sizes are approx. 1.8 long x about 800mm diameter. I own a saw bit its not sutable for the job.

Milling
I thought about looking for some one to do it in the yard at home as I thought it would be easier to just have it done there and I would be willing to share the timber with who ever was willing to help in hope it would keep the costs down a bit.

Hi Bluegum, I have a slabbing bar and stihl 66 which I cut my own timber with. I would like to help but I'm busy until the Chrissy/New year period. Only about 2 months wait.
In the meantime seal the ends with something and we will see if you have no other offers.

Bluey, you could always mill it yourself . . . Using a circular saw, bush saw, wedges, spudbar and a sledge. A lot of hard work with blessed Ironbark, but doable, if you have the time, strength and stamina.
Personally, I'd wait for goodwoody, just make sure you seal the ends well.Pat

Ironbark
This is my first post on your execllent site.
I am restoring a 1927 Chevrolet truck. I have used the timber patterns which my grandfather used back in 27'. My concern is how to stop the Zinc bolts from corroding or should I go straight to S/Steel and how to fix the top boards to the rails Biscuit/screw.
All suggestions welcome.
