Thread: Reliable sawmiller needed!

Hi Sharp

This ones a couple of hours away but try Mal at Boutique Timbers a tRollands Plains 6585 8296 after dark he is most abliging.

Cheers Tony

I'd be more than happy to do some cutting for ya and if you thought I hadn't produced what I said I would - no charge.

Mind you where is hawks nest?


Failing that give Lucas a ring (1800 LUCAS1) they can put you onto Lucas owners in your area

Mal has a couple of Lucas mills, but mainly uses his Swiss horizontal bandsaw.
He will be at Newcastle wood show this weekend so try him on 0416097827.
He can cut whatever you want.
Regards
Greg

Thanks for the replys guys...Brilliant!

I've been in contant with Malcom, and he seems like a very decent fellow, one of the old school, the sort fast vanishing from society.
Looking forward to placing an order with him, once I finalise my list of sections.

I found another guy too....John Hodgson.....also a good chap.

Sigidi........ Hawks Nest is north of Newcastle and south of Forster, if that helps.
I'm terrified of freight charges from up your way, I'll investigate the matter next week.
Thanks very much for the offer to mill for me, I really do prefer to do business with the smaller guy, face to face, handshake kind of style.
Thanks for the number too, I have never thought, over all the years, to ring Lucas.
Beaut idea! I'll definately get in touch with the right people that way. The mobile mill owners and chainsaw millers are actually people, it's the big circular sawbench companies that treat you like a fly in their breakfast cereal.

Ahhhhh. Buggeration! The Newcastle Wood Show, I didn't even know about it, and Mal will be there. I think its too late, I won't be able to make it.
Is the show any good? Is it mainly tool sales or will there be timber for sale?

Thanks again guys,
Much appreciated.
Skarp.

Hi Skarp,

now these are the kind of manners that will get you anything you want for the rest of your life, all the best oddjob1.

Skarp, It only seems like us decent fellas are disappearing cause you live too close to newcastle (or in NSW for that matter)....lol nah there are still plenty of honest decent folk out there and we do what we do not to become millionaires at others expense but because we enjoy what we are doing. honestly I would rather have the ass missing in my pants doing what I enjoy than having to screw someone over so I could drive a beemer, and I can almost guarantee that anyone you speak to on here would be the same.

let me know what you need cause I have some nice timber I have milled, probably not in sizes large enough for ship building but other stuff, like blackwood for turning or furniture making and a bit of melaleuca with lots of birdseye and other stuff as well

Travis

You could also try Whitewood He mills a lot of paulownia for people. cant remember his contact but if you look in the forestry section I was talking in a forum there with him a couple of months ago and there haven't been a lot of posts since that one.

Hey Travis,
You're right, the closer you get to a big city, the good guys start to thin out.
Thank god I'm not close to Melbourne or Sydney.
Thats just the sort of thing that has driven me to live in isolation on islands in the middle of the sea for the best part of my life.

I believe every word you wrote, mate.
If you didn't feel that way in your heart, then I'm certain you'd struggle to throw those words together as perfectly as you did.

I'll send you an email about the milling when I get a chance.

Take it easy mate,

Skarp.

Skarp - been awhile how'd ya go?
