G'day from Bella Vista, Sydney

[Dangermandave]

Hello all you lumber junkies,
Just joined & I'm running 20 minutes late for work as I can't stop browsing this wonderful site.
Im from Bella Vista, which is located in the hills district of Sydney.
My main reason for joining was to source some burls & other timber for my new passion, knife making.
Ive been making knives for a while & will post some picks shortly.

If any Sydneysiders know of a good local burl supplier I would be ever so grateful.

Cheers

Luke

Welcome to the forums Luke.
Looking forward to the knife pics - some work in progress pics would be fantastic.

As for burls, I have no good ideas. There are some good timber suppliers such as Annagote or Trend but neither of them seem to sell many burls. There is a guy on the highway just the other side of Lithgow that sometimes has a few.

Welcome to the forum

I suggest you do a search for Burls in the Timber for sale section of the forum 1 fellow from Appin and one from Cecil hills at reasonable prices.

Welcome to the forum. Not able to help with the source of burls but they come up every now and then.
