Sequoia Pine price???

[jordan4]

G'day fellas, I have sourced some Sequoia Pine! Since this timber is new to me and i have no idea of the price it fetches, so it would be great if some one could post up what its worth?!
Much appreciated, Jordan

its not pine

its a conifer

is it sequoiadendron or sequoia sempervirens

as they are quite different in their use/ability for timber one can build a house and the other cant

As for price.... where is that piece of string?

Hi, Im not saying im the final word on this but is close to or a sister to Cal. redwood which is as common as muck in Western U.S., used a bottom plate in framing { 30 years ago} decking timber, and still heavily logged. Bit harder than W.R.Cedar, but still soft for furniture , but old growth and Burl is valued and a cottage industry in Nor Cal and the North west, Cheers Rossco. Novelty timber but pales in comparison to our native timbers

Yeah well that shows my knowledge of this timber I was after a cubic meter price if this helps? yeah you learn something new every day cheers

[Krunchie]

again you need to specify as different sizes will be different prices

[jordan4]

Ok they will be slabs of 800mm wide by 1800 long by 45 thick? Cheers

Are you hoping to use it for furniture? If so, I agree with woodsurfer that it is too soft and dings and dents way too easily.

Yeah i hadn't really debited to work it or sell it yet. We will most likely mill and sell
