Thread: Looking for timber near Newcastle NSW

Happy to help out with jointing and thicknessing if you can't find what you want already dressed. My machines don't get used enough.

Bernmc,

May I ask what part of Newcastle you are in? (PM if you prefer not to post). I'm in Broadmeadow area.

I would be keen to swap some tool / machine use at some point.

I have a CNC router and lathe. Don't have thicknesser or planer which is what I would be keen to use on occasion (but not often enough to justify buying a whole setup myself).

Thanks Bernmc! I'll hit you up with a PM if that's alright if I can only find undressed boards. Really appreciate the offer.

I'm in Merewether heights, so pretty central. I've got a Hammer A3-31 spiral, and it's accurate to 1/10mm thicknessing, so a pretty decent tool.
Always happy to meet and work with local woodies (and a CNC nearby is great!).

Josh,

I see your post now, thanks for the DM, unfortunately not looking to sell any of my blackwood, but if you would like silky oak for the drawers I think the two might look good together and I can mill some to size for you.

Bernmc, have you got a felder panel saw as well? In the future I’d ask to have a look at your A3, I would like an A3-41 to be in my future at some point.

I’m in Eleebana and happy to resaw on a bandsaw, reasonably large FB-510. (My planer is only a straight knife jet 210mm so Bernmc would do a better job if that’s all you need

Cheers,

Austin

I have a hammer K3.
You're welcome to look at the A3 anytime

Thanks mate, appreciate it.

Hi Austin,

Thanks for getting back to me - I'll take you up on that silky oak in the next couple of weeks once my cut list is sorted and I know quantities.

Where do you guys get your speciality timbers in the Newcastle area?
