he also wants hoop pine for dowel as there is no white timber left in malaysia. notied how all teh dowel seams to be that red/brown colour lately.

also timber for lattice and other items he produces.

this bloke's "retailers" are Bunnings, which means Wesfarmers.
Wesfarmers were on ABC radio yesterday basicly pressuring the government to keep with its election promise to ban "illegally" logged timber.
With that clout at the end, don't be surprised if, before you are paid, you have to certify where you get your logs from
