Hello, Tassie timber for anyone?
Hi all,
I'm just starting a small business sourcing and milling low grade Tasmanian logs and burls and want to get an idea of what sort of market there is for what I have.
I am able to source most of the common Tasmanian minor species including celery top pine, myrtle, sassafras and blackwood as well as some Tasmanian eucalyptus and other species as they come up. I will be milling, air or kiln drying and machining on demand. And this will include high grade finished products.
My business aim is to see as many low grade Tasmanian logs make there way to crafts people and worthy uses as possible. But I think I will need some help!
So, can any one answer the following:
how do I find people that want Tasmanian timber?
what do they want, how much do they want and at what price?
why would you not use any of the above mentioned timbers, or
what do you love about them?
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
BJ Cavanagh
