Tas Timber gloat
Went to an auction to buy a DC, and came home with this lot - Myrtle & blackwood mostly, with some celery top, fiddleback tas oak, and a bloody great slab of Huon. $270
, all nicely stacked next to the NZ Rimu.

Nice gloat Kiwi. Look forward to the first project you make with some of it.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

HMMPH. I always thought you were a nice bloke. I'm not so sure now, all that nice stuff to play with, AND, you haven't offered it around to everyone.
Nice one, have fun, post pics.Boring signature time again!

Where did you get rimu over here - I've seen a couple of lots for sale but always bloody expensive and usually only narrow board (65mm or so)recycled flooring.

Glad to see you are getting some timber bargins down there also, and I thought you just had to walk around and pick it up off the ground in tassie !

I brought the Rimu over with me. The 8X2's were off a demo site. They were just about to crunch them with a 40t digger. Box of Stieny's fixed that! I have already made a dining table and pews, and a couple of big kitchen benches from this lot.
The balance is out of our last reno effort in Auckland - some nice heart in there. There must have been lots of Rimu in 1942, they used it for everything. The Matai floors were to die for. The plan is to have 2 single beds and a KS one by the end of winter. Now that I have the bandsaw to rip, I can get into it.The only way to get rid of a [Domino] temptation is to yield to it.
