    Default wada bout ye

    the title is our way of saying g'day in belfast.

    hello all you upside down folk, how's it hanging?

    i found your good resource while searching for paulownia on the web, any of you guys used it? i am building kiteboards here i ireland and trying to source paulownia plywood for testing as my core. i can get raw lengths from england but then its a effort to machine and glue together as a sheet. seen some guy danny was importing from hong kong, sent him a pm but reckon the carriage to the uk will be expensive.

    any way just saying, bout ye

    Welcome Sean!
    .
    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.


    Regards, Woodwould.

    Hi Sean

    Welcome to the forum.

    I am a producer, in a small way, and a supplier of Paulownia. I did have one Aussie customer who was using it to make his cores and was very happy with it. I lost him as a customer when, I think, he sourced blanks from China. China was able to sell the blanks much cheaper that I could sell him planks of Australian grown timber. He found his competitors were using the Chinese timber and undercutting price wise.

    My message is simple . Paulownia is very good for kite board cores and I am told it is also good for snow board cores.

    Based on experience and tests here in Aus the quality of Chinese Paulownia does not rate as well as the timber grown in Aus.

    I'm hanging fine thank you. How about you as from my perspective you're the one who is the wrong way up.
