Australian red cedar
Australia red cedar.
This was milled/purchased from the Dorigo/NSW area in 2000.
Pics ARC-G0 ARC-G1a ARC-G1b & ARC-G1c:ARC-G0.jpgARC-G1a.jpgARC-G1c.jpg
The slab you can see is 2760x1200x60
On top of that is another 3000x550x50 as well as some miscellaneous smaller pieces (pics ARC-G2*) and 4 quite thick pieces.ARC-G2.jpgARC-G2a.jpgARC-G2d.jpg
These were supposed to become a dining table, the 4 thicker pieces to be the legs.
The Pics ARC-S0 to S3ARC-S0.jpgARC-S1.jpgARC-S2.jpgARC-S3.jpg
Stack on right with green paint (ignore top piece, that belongs on left hand stack):
11 pieces in stack all approx 2850 in length, all approx 50 in depth, widths are varying.
Stack on left (including the one on top of the green stack)
7 pieces in stack all approx 3200 in length, all 50-55mm in depth, widths are varying.
These two stacks were supposed to become the matching chairs for above table.
Several people have advised total value well over $10k. Willing to sell at $6k as one lot. As this stage will not separate.

Oh, if only I wasn't temporarily stuck in Canada, I'd find the $6k asked for the lot
Plus hire a truck to move it
plus find a person to store it for me till I can return to Australia ...
on second and third thoughts ...
are any Forum members interested in going shares on the $6k lot of Aust Red Cedar?
As I am in Canada for the better part of another year, the deal would have to include:
- arranging a truck or heavy duty trailer to collect the timber;
- someone to drive the truck / haul the trailer;
- two people (minimum) to load all the timber onto the truck / trailer;
- a place to store the timber for free
any takers ??
if only ...regards from Alberta, Canada

Good evening DPH,
commercial supplies of such cedar are rare and command a premium. However, over the last 5 to 10 years I have seen some lovely stashes like these go unloved and left on the shelf.
I have far more timber than i can ever use, so am not a buyer. But I can offer some advice, if you are interested.
There are a lot of potential buyers on these forums if you sell slab by slab individually. You don’t need to fear being left with the “leavings” either as there buyers for scraps at the right price. I predict that you can get a better return piecemeal than bulk. If you really need to sell bulk then there are buyers who will buy on the cheap and sell piecemeal but you will not get the $$.
Good luck with it,
David. Feel free to ignore btw.

Hi Austin, no I didn't. Did manage to sell about 8T of other timber so for now can accommodate the more high end pieces.. that's the red cedar and huon pine.
A few more pics of the cedar from when I was moving it around.
All the long cedar slabs are from the same tree, you could actually piece back together 7m of the same tree.

And some of the huon pine I came across...:

But as I said, not impacting me for now, so can stay where it is until I gather more enthusiasm

You must have had quite the collection! Well if you are hanging onto it, good luck making some things out of it, I bet it will keep you going for a while.
