I used to play around with cabinet making as a hobby when I was married Theres a recycle timber collector seller in Echuca at the old Ubco bearings buildings
The place is covered with timber from all over Australia 'including the old wharfs in Sydney.. He once showed me what he called his "Superannuation Shed"
I have never seen a larger slab of Huon pine in my life and never will again and Queensland cedar slabs stacks of them. I could easily retire with that lot on my little boat .Such a site Ill never forget
The retail shed some of it is sold for board room tables longs and I mean long

I've bought timber at Anagote - was recommended by a wood turner friend. Photos of boats on the office wall. Some staff have boats. I'll be going there again when I get to my rub rails.

Any good suppliers of Teak in Melbourne?
