Help needed to collect timber in VIC. to send to Brisbane

Post by willcall » Tue Sep 13, 2011 8:28 am

Hi all, I have found a supplier for some satin wood in Colac Victoria.

He has some available suitable for neck construction.
He says it is highly figured and is $20/length (neck dims).

I am in Brisbane and want to get it delivered. He wants me to come and hand pick the lenghts I want, which I can't do.

Is anyone willing to do me a huge favour? :?:


Cheers, Will

I spoke to Carl, the supplier, he would prefer someone who knows what they're looking for to select the pieces for me.

He has the following sizes available:

Length: 700mm
Width: 100mm
Depth: 25mm & 38mm & 50mm

Select & standard grade available in rough sawn & dressed.

"superb fiddleback" also available. :cl

I'll ask for some pics but not sure how accommodating he will be as his primary work is custom furniture construction not re-selling timber, but I hope so.

Hi all Carl said that collection can be done anytime except weekends.

Timber selection & sorting is available Mon-Fri but his weekends are too busy to do it then.
He also lives 2hrs away from work so probably wouldn't like to hang around after work either.
