I have completed a bathroom vanity with frame and panel doors.

The environment it is in is pretty humid (both because it is a bathroom and because it is in the far south-west of WA). The...

Harry72 - I have put in Jarrah - 30kg Uniform load - 900 x 160 x 19 mm and get a deflection reading of 2.36mm.

I was considering having some narrow to shelves...

I am in Pemberton (part of the time) but the block in question is in Perth.

I have a couple of standing trees, one cape lilac and one pine (radiata I think), on a block that is to be cleared.

The pine tree in particular looks worth milling. It is around 70cm diameter at...
