was going to call into Lazarides to get timber while I was down this way,checked their web site just before I left my Mums in Caboolture to go there and see they have downsized and only sell big packs of timber,no small amounts,The site says carbitec had bought timber off them so I went there and they didn't have any timber there worth getting...........

I am a bit concerned myself Rod as to where to obtain timber stocks now. I know Trend timbers in NSW has exotics etc, but who wants to buy timber sight unseen.I always hand picked my pieces form Lazarides.I do have quite a bit of stock in some timber but very little in say, Wenge or Bubinga etc.

It is hard to find a good timber stockist in your area. Bugger about yours downsizing Rod. I'm lucky enough to have Monaro Timbers only about 1 hour away from where I live.

I think the boss fella was retiring and they must have decided to simplify their operations so got rid of all the cabinet timbers. Most of their stock was supposed to go to Bootles in townsville. their might be some options in Brisbane, but i have yet to check them out.

then fellas I can only suggest - the annual pilgrimage to the Wisemans Ferry Trad shoot, get there a couple of days before spend a day over at Trend (which is less than an 1 hour from Robs, no traffic, loverly scenic drive) and the bonus of lots of pretty good exotic timber galore at the other end, just like we do.

Ask Mr K next time you see him.

Hey Rod,

Watts Woods have a ton of excellent timbers!! Check their internet site for a list of everything they have in stock. I picked up some from there recently and his prices are really good from what I've seen.

Will be heading back soon to get some more. They open again on the 5th if I remember correctly...

What was it that you're wanting to get?

Colin

Hey Rod,

They have some good stuff for the English style longbows and Warbows I'm making at the moment (cherry, American ash, hickory, maple) but a lot of the wood they have could be used in risers on glass lam bows. There is some stuff in the list I've never heard of before...

Definitely worth a look on the site to see if they have something that spikes your interest.

Colin
