    thanks guys, have done heaps of research over the boxing day holiday, started a chopping board, tas blackwood 600x360x45, not end grain now, saving that style till later.

    In my research I have found Trend Timbers in Sydney offer good prices and services for timber products.
    Are there any other good timber suppliers in Sydney worth travelling for to buy timber?

    Am trying to make another chopping board similar to this one,
    cost $249 retail, me trying to do much cheaper and with satisfaction money cant buy!



    trying to find the metal spikes at the moment to hold a roast when carving on it.harder said than done, may lathe my own if I get stuck. anyone know where to buy these from??

    cheers

    Energy Aust apprentices have got to learn about wood so they know which tree's they are chopping down, woodworkers aren't going to get because it goes through the mulcher.

    Suggest you read this thread re-wood supply https://www.woodworkforums.com/showth...ight=greg+ward
