Thread: Rare Timbers: Stock list & value timber collection

I have only a photos of a pile, not individual pieces. You are looking at 20+ different spices of wood. It will need someone to inspect and catalogue it before valuing. Any experts over there who would be willing to get paid for this job?

Even a pic of the pile may give someone an idea if they are interested in taking it further.

Would be happy to help if the container was in Sydney. May I suggest you throw up some photos of the container with doors open and the surrounding area. Is there handling equipment available on site? If not, can container be moved to a more suitable location? If the container is full you would be looking at approx 48 cubic metres of timber. If this is to be manually handled some cheap labour wil be required not just a valuer.

He is a new member so will have to wait for admin OK for photos

He didn't say it's in a container. He said it's about the volume of a 40' container.

The identification of old dirty oxidised wood in a pack or stack is very hard unless it uses a trade name or 3 letter code. Is it safe? Some background on its origins, nature, sizes (slabs, logs, billets, milled boards etc), any offer of help to take notes, handle (unpack / repack) should all be considered. Then you might get some offers. 2-3 blokes may be required IMO. More thought and background is required.
