What outfit? If you mean the one that starts with an 'O' i'd say avoid at all costs unless you want to throw money down the drain.
dang I stuffed that up big time,
see if I can find it all again.
so as I was trying to ask and paddington got his nose out of joint.... These have have been popping up on FB and i am curious as to who they might be? where are they from? etc etc.
Mountain River Timber 6 light Tce Thebarton SA 0410 797 891
Condition
Used – like new
Pricing from $95
Need a Timber slab for a project ? These would make great bar tops or solid timber tables, floating shelves, mantle pieces . Available in Blackwood, Myrtle, Poplar and Blackheart Sassafras, Deodar Cedar, Huon Pine and Celery top pine.
We have many in stock to chose from pricing starts from around $95.
Thickness from 30-45mm sizes vary please see photos for size and pricing
Same sort of pricing as the one in Magill that starts with O. Inflated to say the least. OK if you just need a small board or two i suppose, plus they have a lot of odds and ends you wont get at too many places.
If looking for more 'bulk' options there are fare better in SA for things like Tas blackwood, blackbutt, tas oak, all american species etc, all rough sawn though. For people without a thicknesser/jointer i can see why the above mentioned would be handy.
The one in Magill that starts with O, long gone, you need to get out more.
this is pure wild idea, but what are the chances someone in the know bought out or the O family transferred everything to new business name and moved premises, damned if I can re
Mountain River Timbers in Thebarton is run by Luke Skelton, son of Tim a wood turner in SA. No affiliation to the old Ottos that people are alluding to. Not sure if the Skiltons own the business.
When Otto's closed down a couple of years back, Luke, along with Nathan Otto opened up a specialty timber store on Light St, Thebarton as part of Mountain River Timbers. Earlier this year Nathan Otto started up a new Otto Timber in a new location in Magill.
Im not certain if Mountain River is still operating but it looks as though it is still going. Both stores are your only real options for anything exotic in Adelaide.
I was not aware they had opened a new store, good to know.
why is there a big picture of Paddington and the queen?
For USA + aussie species there are far far far better options than MRT and Otto's. Maybe for small turning blanks and 'hobby' pieces of random species they are good but if you're doing a larger project like a dining table or something then no point throwing money away getting timber there IMO.
I second that. you seem to have other outlets that most of us are unaware of.
