Hi guys

Just looking for some paulownia or balsa to make a board for my young bloke.
The only suppliers in perth is bunnings, does any one know of any other places that supply the timbers?.
Highpoint is no longer in business.
Thanks for any help

Try Greg form Bodhi tree surfboards,
thats what he used to make his

He is a top bloke so he will either sell you some or point you in the right direction

Failing that, you could try Austim in, Landsdale?

mate - I've got enough to make a 8'0 and more - probably won't use it. I've made a few + poly boards but don't have time for another project. PM me and we can chat

The company Glosswood, can sell you seconds or scrap which is no good for their use but fine for a board.
I got a heap years ago off a carpenter mate who worked with them. I only used it it my skateboards, my solid paulownia surfboard project never got off the ground.
