Anyone in the wood trade? Or collects feature wood?

 Hi everyone, 

 

I was wondering whether there are any forum members that are either into some home woodwork? Or in the wood craft trade industry?

 

I have just recently finished a home made fishing trophy piece, and want a nice bit of feature wood / plaque to mount it on. Nothing huge, only something like 20cm x 20cm square. Something cool like an off cut bit of feature Jarrah or even Blackbutt etc eoukd be ideal. 
 

if any of you work with that sort of thing either as a job or a hobby, and can guide me where I can get something to suit the above description, it would be appreciated.

many thanks, Scano

From a guy, Fred Newton in Baldivis......his stock of various feature timbers is breathtaking and very very reasonably priced, I bought mine to mount a saw fish saw I was given years and years ago.

i have his full contact details if you would like them but he is on gumtree.  Jarrah, banksia, marri, sheoak.....best selection I have ever seen.

And for anyone looking for a truly stunning coffee table his resin enhanced pieces are worth every cent.

You could try Featured  Wood as he does a really good product and has a wide range of timber to work with
