Question Timberrrr !

Does anyone know of a place in Melbourne that has a good range of imported timbers for my dash? Would really like to get my hands on some NZ "RIMU" (red pine).

Default Don't go plastic wood!!!!!!!!!

You could try the high quality veneers as an option. I'm very happy with the outcome of mine. Used epoxy glue and although my sheet was slightly narrow I mated the machined edges together and the joint is great.

About $30 for a 2.4m x approx 300mm sheet and I'd do it that way again!

Can't recall if I have pics in my gallery of the dash but I think there are some there. Definitely posted a thread with some pics called "ahem testing........" to get an idea of the laminate. This one is a US maple I think, but you can get all sorts of colours, swirls and even finishes as I have just seen recently (a very textured surface).

Cheers
