Vic: Bulk Blackwood buy?
Happy to broker this if enough folk are interested:
"lengths of kiln dried (2003) excellent condition central highlands blackwood, 270 x 120"
https://www.woodworkforums.com/showthread.php?t=76523
Prob work out at around $23 per blank ... bowl/platter that is. Thick enough for boxes/pencil jars but I will only handle 270 x 270 or longer.
Let me know. Should be good turning timber but caveat emptor. I'll check it out and if it's good enough and you have an order in, that's it.
Can send interstate at cost.
I won't be adding anything for pickup, cutting and packaging for postage for those who want some.Cheers, Ern

Hi Ern,
Still got enough left for a piece 540 x 270 x 120 please? 2 at 270 x 270 x 120 would also be ok if you need to dodge faults.
Thanks a bunch.Cheers,
Shannon.

Ern if you dont mind I'll take 2 - please cut them 1 @ 270 x 270 x 120 for a bowl and the other split it if you could 270 x 270 x 60 to make 2 platters, or if there is a checked/damaged peice that will suit this idea just the same.

Is this possible please Ern.
Your generous offer here has got me working on the same kind of thing myself, tell you about it later.

Hi David,
Happy to put your name on two blanks ... but I'm not set up for ripping reliably at that depth I'm afraid.
Can anyone else help with the ripping?Cheers, Ern

Do you think a chainsaw would lose too much thickness? Originally Posted by rsser

Thanks .
With TL's order that's the shorter board accounted for, and I hope Kinkers checks his email soon.
I'll start a 'wait list' now and we may be able to account for the 2nd board.Cheers, Ern

To summarise:
Timelord: 3
BB: 3
Letzzgo: 2
Robomanic: 1 x 540 x 270
Calm: 2
TL: 2
Ern: 3
BB, bear in mind postage costs. Estimate your fraction of 640 KG per cube. I can round yours on the bandy if you want to reduce the weight.
Everyone else it's square and pick-up.
Unless you ask me otherwise, after cutting the blanks I'll hotwax the endgrain. Blackwood moves.Cheers, Ern
