where to buy decking materials in Melbourne

G'day.
No offence intended.
We do the same thing. sell dry rgh
However, if selling T&G is say $4 per l/m select grade.
why charge $6 per l/m for unknown grade dry rgh?
Surely you would sell rgh dry for the same price as select grade profiled?

The Price I had Glock was $5 for feature grade flooring or $6 for rough sawn.

I just asked at the mill and they said they had to cover the high grade stuff they would have got out of it. Fair enough I thought. They sound like a highly automated set up where one machine just does it all. Perhaps they aren't that interested in selling timber like that. Myself I was a bit surprised that it cost more for rough sawn but there you go.

I trust this mill as they have been good to us here. Based on past dealings they are being as fair as they can.

Anyway no hard feelings

Ya take a log and saw it up. Then you rack the boards to dry.
Then you put the rack in the kiln and pump steam into the kiln.
Then when its dry yu dress it on a moulder.
Then you grade it and dock the defects out.
Then you sell it to the public .
Job Done...
Questions?

Studley.
It sounds as though they didn't want to do the job and were trying to price it too high so as not to have to do it.

Buy I could be wrong. Have been a few times in the past

Don't get ya?

[Larry McCully]

Don't get ya?

you could use steam as a carrier of chemical to the timber

[glock40sw]

Not really.
Steam looses heat and condenses rapidly unless under pressure.
Free steam is virtually useless as a host medium.

is it possible to intro steam into a vacuumed chamber, do you think that the preasure in a heated vacuum kiln would keep the steam as steam and not condense.
