Pity this lot wasn't in longer lengths

mm they normay come in bloks the blokes can lift into the trucks.

every now and then some big basturds get droped off. i make sure i pull them out the way quick smart.

500*600, those lengths seem ideal for my purposes - I'm looking for green wood to try out my pole lathe with. Hopefully there'll be some left for me.

Hey Carl, any chance of getting the guy to talk to people who drop the stuff off so they keep spotty in longer lengths, there'd be a fortune in slabs there if they where longer????

And of course I'd love to mill or slab 'em up

i could talk to them but id say theyd want sompthing for there trouble.

i think $80/cube is the going rate for hardwood.

Have a see what they say, even 'buying' it, milling it on site and selling it back to em so they on sell it, thay can make a healthy profit...

ill be on ste milling from 9am till 12.30pm on sunday and maby 1.30pm-3pm if i feel like it. if anyone wants to come out and colect some timber they are more than welcome to.

drive up Upper Brookfield rd and the place is about 2km past the Upper brookfield school on the left ill put a sighn on the side of the road that says "timber" or sopmpthing.

Carl might be better to chuck something like Weisy on the sign, ya never know who will come looking for 'Timber'

Is there anything of a good length mate? Some thing worth packing Larry the Lucas mill up for?

im going over to have a look this arvo and ill put up a list.

havent been round for about a week.

ok what we got over there at the moment is.

14 - 2-3m swamp cypress logs max diamiter 700mm (mine but im willing to part with some)

3 - 2-3m old dead ironbark logs max diamiter 300mm

2 - 1.5-2.5m ironbark logs 250mm max diamiter

coupla ton of tallowwood blocks up to 1m long most around 250mm but up to 400mm.

small amount of silky oak blocks nothing to big and long.

unlimited hardwood blocks and small diamiter logs.

i sould be there on sunday moring but i picked up my alaskan from the engenerign joint today and its bent worse than when i droped it off. they replaced te upright with a solid bar as requested but it is leaning to one coner by about 8mm. unuseable. i will still be there pulling logs around to get them outa the way so they dont end up as landfill.

if ya thinking of coming out give me a call before sunday so i know how many to expect.

I've read a number of your posts over the last year or two and reckon you're one of the most helpful guys to other woodies. Anyone who's been in trouble you've offered a helpful and willing hand. Hope to meet you some day.
