Sometimes we get lucky

[Groggy]

A group of us were offered some cheap timber, this timber was shipped over 1,000 miles.

and shipping came to US$134

meep! meep!

The dog doesn't look impressed - is his basket under that lot?

[Groggy]

Her 'squeaky toy' was kicked under it so she'd stay there for the photo, no sense of humour that dog...

Somebody's gonna be really miffed when he finds his dunny missing in the morning. But looking at the timber, it was overbuilt anyway.

Goodonya...you suck (in a counter-rotating fashion)

Good doggy

Got to ask: what kinda wood izzit?

[Groggy]

There is quite a mixture. Spotted Gum, Coastal Blackbutt, New England Blackbutt, White mahogany, White stringybark, Flooded Gum (Rose Gum), Sydney blue Gum, Grey box, Red ironbark, Grey ironbark, red mahogany, forest red gum, Grey gum (v red timber), Bloodwood and Brushbox.

I haven't sifted through it all yet.

If there had been some Jummywood in there, you would have really sucked. ;-)

Nice score. mahalo, jo4hn

the back looks too light to be jarrah; it resembles our redwood.

YOU SUCK!

Expect multiple cyclones to form near you.

How did you manage that? Freight alone should have been $1,000.

Actually the little dog is saying in dog language of course ,"just look at this bunch of crap taking up my space in the garage" .mjh

[Groggy]

A number of us had it bulk shipped to a single point where one of us has a forklift and storage space. We then drove there in a convoy of pickups, trucks, unicycles or whatever we could and took it to our homes.

We are forming a kind of e-cooperative to get better deals, it hasn't been spoken overtly, but that is effectively what is happening. We acquired a bunch of Bessey clamps from LV in a similar manner. I think we imported about 3 pallets of clamps.

Forest red gum (I think)

Glad to see that it's still working out for you. I thought that it was great when you worked out the deal on the Besseys with Robin. It's even better to see it maturing into an ongoing community effort. I love it when a plan comes togetherr.
