All good clear and clean seasoned wood, a few lengths may be beaued or bent marginly ut very usable

Cost BIG $ /m3 then the copious fumigation/crating/shipping/landing/customs/freight etc etc, invluding weeks of work to get it to Australia 5 years ago, now what remains which is enough to supply me for life must go as in the way currently and I currently have no time for woodwork.

After speaking with the vendor, I am now aware this is an auction and what I thought was the asking price is the reserve. Therefore my offer is withdrawn and I revert to auction mode.

Is that correct ....It may affect bidders if they can pick it up.

Thanks DavidG, it was starting to hurt my ears.

**JDarvall** · 11th April 2014, 09:27 PM

He gave me a little to play with, and its good stuff. Very smooth. Doubt it'll bend well though, so I'm out, but its beautiful stuff. Very smooth.

I've never seen him yell, so the caps use doesn't mean anything.

He's a nice guy….. but then I do live in town , and have recently realised that ar*e kissing people makes good business sense….

I'M JOKING ! (i'm not yelling either).

It really is good stuff.

cheers
Jake

**Milling_logs_4u** · 14th April 2014, 12:34 PM

OOOPS Sorry guys

hehehe (my turn to joke) I didn't mean to to bruise the grain with my caps use - am I allowed to use it sparingly I trust there's enough tolerance here for that. (and thanks for the kind and honest words Jake - "yep smooth is a good description" )

Well put mate this is "something to shout about" that is a fair comment, and I will regret selling it too.

Now moving on to the reason for this post, I did say I would get it all out when I had a chance, and I spent 5 hours yesterday doing just that and not one splinter, had to move loads to get to this. Enjoy the pics, i'm ready to strap up and drop at depot. Please contact me for freight

I have a half a cube here of the 3971 year old the most stable of all the ages. That is verifyable by those who have experience with both. (I didnt buy too much old for that reason, however the old is magic stuff it just is a little less stable, its been is a very dry storage situation

In the measurements list theres 5 boards as a separate lot at the bottom of page, who ever goes for the .5 m3 has the option to take it at same rate otherwise I am asking a bit more, it wont be listed till this has played out.

I could see a few people getting together to share this and so many crafts and furniture to ba made from this lot, it i a true bargain and it is a give away, why I need the money to give to the Bankster's or they may take my roof ! The price reflects that cause I NEED IT GONE ASAP ok thats why and I have cubes of other wood and still enough AK shorts to see me out, after this no surplus. I will consider splitting into 3 lots if not sold by end of auction, however price will jump to 4 k m3

(Buyer to pay Paypal fees and delivery fees and costs before dispatch, I'm happy to get a quote to anywhere for you and welcome you to get your own)

Enjoy the pics, the ute is under cover and tarped up, cheers

Here's the seperate OLD lot that is $214 if grabbing the half cube pack otherwise I will sell $300 after the half cube is gone only - To be fair.

Just some feedback for potential customers. I've bought a small amount of this timber from Matt that I'm using for pen blanks. I found it to be great quality, and Matt was happy to go the 'extra mile' to accommodate my needs. The package arrived very quickly, and he sent me pics of my order prior to shipping.

(Sounds a bit like eBay feedback!)

I'd recommend this seller & timber.

Does anyone have any 65mm in thickness that they would sell me? perhaps 1.2 meters?
