    Default Looking for Tassie turning timber suppliers

    Planning a trip to Tassie and would like to take full advantage of trip. I have searched forum for similar topics and found some info. Perhaps other people have suppliers that they would like to share. Once I have enough info I want to create a little map of Tassie dotted with places to visit. I can post it when its done for anyone that's interested.
    Here is what I have found and cut & paste out. If you have others that may be used let me know PM if you like. Just the Name, address or just town, particular timber they may specialise in........
    Cockatoo timbers were excellent and amongst the cheapest I found- beautiful myrtle - wet though will need to season<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
    LK Davis in Mawbanna-. There are a number of other mills in this area<o></o>
    Tasmanian special timbers in Strahan (great for huon pine) and the mill next door
    <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1lace>Island</st1lace> speciality timbers in Geeveston<o></o>

    Hello mate,

    I recently went to Tassie on a holiday and found L.K.Davis Craft Timber on Mill Site Mawbanna Road, Mawbanna to be the cheapest i found and he had alot of turning blanks.

    Regards
    Allan

    P.s i brought back heaps and posted stuff as well. for cheap premade(choping boards etc) items go to a shop in ROSS.
