Hi all
Recently moved to Belgrave, Vic from Brisbane.... finally have that space where I can have my power tools in a semi-permanent spot and not have to pack them away. Looking to do small wood projects around the house and make some band saw boxes.
Can anyone recommend places to buy nice wood from (other than pallets)?
Thank you.

Hi Pagie
I am looking for anything that is better/not available at Bunnings... just starting out so anything for me to practice on. Down the track I have big plans to make some furniture and will be looking for slabs then.
Thank you.

I have a lot of slabs of different woods. Lots of sizes. Let me know what you want and I will have a look at the slabs and see if I can help.
