    Default Trip to Toronto

    Well I took a trip up to the Specialty Wood Centre at Toronto today to get some timber to make a coffee table. Feel sorry for Peter when ever I go there, as im never sure what im looking for, he is a very helpful guy and will do anything to assist. Ended up with getting some nice N.G Rosewood, has some nice reds and yellows going through it.

    Been a while since I have done anything of this scale, so it will be an experience.

    Now what :confused:

    Well firstly i'll be reading over the project plan to see what I gotta do.

    Brett, how much does he charge for NG Rosewood? I bought some recently and was very happy with the price, 150x38 for $8:75 linear metre.Rough sawn of course.
    Cheers

    Ok think you got a better deal then me. I got 4 lengths of 170x38 x 2800 long for $210, but I also got him to dress them down to 32mm. Oh well I was happy with price

    Brett, that price is not too bad considering you had it dressed, comparable to another wood yard here for rough sawn.
