I've just come back to Aus and I'm looking for a small pack of kiln dried rough sawn general purpose timber that isn't radiata (easy to work, glue, screw and nail, looks presentable with an oil finish, cost effective, not too dense). I would use it when I just need timber to make some small stuff in the house like stools or boxes, for internal framing of cabinets and furniture, building workshop furniture/ jigs etc.
In NZ I probably would have chosen clear grade Macrocarpa (Cupressus macrocarpa, Montery/ Golden Cypress, abundant due to farm plantings). What are some good australian options?
I am in Newcastle and I'm also planning to purchase a pack for outdoor use, probably from a local mill that supply: Sydney Blue Gum, Grey Gum, Red Ironbark, Stringy Bark (mix species) and Rosewood.
Maybe Blue Gum would serve both purposes or is it too hard to be a utility timber?
