I'm not sure how the price compares as I don't have prices from up your way. As far as sizes go, they seem to be able to supply a large range and the lengths are good - up to about 4m.

Sorry Rick, I thought I sent you the cubic meter price from the guy in Bris'?? He had 125mm x 36mm; 100mm x 36mm and 75mm x 25mm in 3metre lengths at $3500.00 per cubic metre.Larks

Re: Restoration of a Twistebr />
Thanks Greg. I don't remember seeing that. Anyway, it was a bit dearer than that but not too much! I'm pretty convinced that they got it from a kosher source so I don't mind paying that bit extra.

Re: Restoration of a Twistebr />
Well, I just picked up 45 metres of 100 x 38 PNG rosewood from a supplier in Sydney. I'm assured the stuff only comes from certified suppliers in PNG, which should mean that the timber mill supports sustainable logging and supports local landholders - I hope so! This should be enough to do most of the frames, if I don't mess too many up! So, I'll be looking for planking timber now - either PNG rosewood or flooded gum, I think. So, I just need to finish painting the front of our house and I'll then be able to spend a bit of time making up the new frames.

Re: Restoration of a Twistebr />
I haven't been looking Peter. I've been rebuilding and extending the shed and we've just started on house renovations. When I get back into the boat project, I'll be replacing frames for quite some time so there's no hurry. As part of the shed extension though, I'm building some timber racks at the back so I'll be able to store planking etc. At the moment, I just have nowhere to put long planks so it's probably a good thing that I don't have the planking yet. I think I'll take a trip up north when I am ready to get some planks though. At the moment, I'm sort of chasing some fairly big slabs for kitchen benches - I'd like to use blue gum if I can get it in big enough pieces. Any dark brown wood would suit though I think.
