There were no decent desert timber available at Proserpine Turnabout so have been looking about for available sources, after all my trailer is only half full :rolleyes:. I found a fencer in Mackay that had a heap of rosewood logs in his yard, but unfortunately most was part of an order already sold, and the rest I could see only good for firewood.
As the order still hadn't been paid for and well overdue, he decided to sell me a couple of lengths (~4-5m long rails) and cut in half for me, then he also showed me a pile of older stuff he thought might be Ok for turning (no good for fencing) and said help myself :2tsup:. This stuff is really heavy so I did have to hold back as the trailer can only take so much :(. Ended up taking 6 1/2 tray lengths and he helped me load it up.

Spent this morning cutting them all up into 400-700 lengths with my small chainsaw to fit into the spaces I have in the trailer. I then sealed each end with 2 coats of log sealer ready to take home :cool:.

He said ring ahead next time, as he is often out of town, and he would ensure he had heaps. I suggested he should load up his truck and visit Proserpine Turnabout next year :U
