Going under the hammer is an assortment of South West native timbers, including a quality selection of marri, jarrah, jarrah burls (whole and sliced), blackbutt, sheoak and wandoo.
Also, available will be a variety of Goldfields timber species including mulga, sandalwood, gimlet, salmon gum, redwood, Goldfields blackbutt and western myall.
Many of these Goldfields timbers have been sourced from logs salvaged from various land clearing projects such as mining and road construction.
Sawn timber on offer will be 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.
