Thread: Queensland Sassafras?

Does anyone know what type of Sassafras from Queensland would be a likely candidate for this type of use?
My guess is that it would have been easily available in the 1980's.
And I havent been able to find any timber suppliers in Queensland that mention suppling Sassafras, either.
Does anyone know of any Sassafras available in Queensland,
or North Queensland,(which I believe has a different type again)?

thanks

Had some Northern Sassafrass a few weeks ago. What sizes and quantity are you after I'll see if there is any left. No promises

I need 100 - 150mm x 50mm at minimum.
the width can be wider, but the 50mm is absolute min.

i'll try that again... length is not that important, width and depth are important.
They are as listed above, with the depth of at least 50mm

Hi Slapfest,

Sorry only a narrow piece and not the thickness you are looking for. I'll keeps my eyes open next time I' around the yards.
