The auction will be held at the FPC Manjimup Nursery on Saturday, 23 June 2018.
Going under the hammer is an assortment of South West native and exotic sawn timber and slabs, including a quality selection of marri, jarrah, jarrah burls (whole and sliced), blackbutt, sheoak, woody pear, sugar gum (kiln dried boards), manna gum (kiln dried boards), cypress, woollybutt and lemon scented gum.
Also available will be a variety of Goldfields timber species including sandalwood, gimlet, salmon gum, redwood, Goldfields blackbutt and western myall.
Many of these sawn timbers have been sourced out of logs salvaged from various land clearing projects such as mining and road construction.
Timber on offer will be sawn and cut into sizes to suit furniture making, wood turning and carving.
The feature timbers contain desirable characteristics including curly grain and birdseye, while the Goldfields timbers are very dense and possess a particularly magnificent colour and grain.
Regular public auctions provide the opportunity for local Western Australian artisans to purchase a unique range of assorted native timbers.
Timber can be inspected at 150 Burnside Road, Manjimup, between 10.00am and 3.00pm on Friday, 22 June 2018.
