    Default tassie timbers

    i forgot to mention blackwood, check out the prices from the small peices bin , sizes mainly about the 80 x 60 x 300, or boards 200x30 x300 long,some smaller some bigger but overall pretty good. bought a heap of these also,they also do turning blank packs,and deliver to australia wide huge slabs , good prices too. bob

    Thumbs up Tassie timber

    Love Tassie, love the timbers. Trouble is both time I went I flew.Shipping timber back was costly but will be worth it, Ihope

    Evan you can pick stuff up almost anywhere but south of Hobart in places like Geeveston, is best. Also Strachan on the West coast, particularly for Huon pine.

    G'day Bob,
    Kim wants to know, Did you have room in the car to take your wife home or is she still Hitch Hiking?
    Can't buy a Bl----Dy pie down here in Tassie at the moment either, Some Mainlanders went on a feeding Frenzy.

    Looks like a great bundle there Bob. Can't say I've heard of musk myrtle, but it certainly looks great.
