Great thread. Mind you, I can't look at any of those sites without wanting to spend all the money.

I specifcally avoid driving through Marrickville as magically, I seem to end up at Anagote Timbers with my wallet out.

Recycled timbers:
Thor's Hammer - https://www.thors.com.au/

That looks interesting. And in my part of the woods too.

Yeh Thors have just moved and opened at a new site. I've been meaning to go and have a look at what they have and see if there is anything useful.

Kuanjb have you done any scratch guitar stuff?

Not as yet.... but you know, I have plans. I'm interested in use of sustainable timber use and Australian timbers which you don't see very often in guitars. So Thor's ticks the boxes.

Need to go my woodworking skills and have a better setup at home before attempting any of that though. I did go out to Monaro timber a few months back to a see what they had. I'm planning on doing a wood pickguard on the JM build.

I don't have some of the required tools either but have joined the ACT Woodcraft Guild who have a specific instrument makers group that meets once a fortnight and the guild have all the tools you'd need if that interests you. Also quite a lot of knowledge there.

Did Monaro have a reasonable selection?

I was looking at their website less than a week ago and was very tempted to join. I'll have to wait a few months though as I have a clash.

Monaro is pretty small. Had some woods which I thought might be of use. Queensland maple, Blackwood, Mountain Ash.... honestly I'm not that knowledgeable to be able to judge though. They have equipment for cutting to size and making veneers too. Quite friendly and helpful.

Fortunately I don't get to Sydney too often so it'll be a while before they take too much of my money haha
