I have used other plywoods before and they cant take as much of a beating and stay durable as the BB. I will be applying a coating of Easytread on the finished product to make sure they remain abrasion proof.

Does Handypine cut to size any of their lumber?

I know Bunning does but the Bunnings at Marion can't cut a straight edge for some reason.

I sent them an email so thanks.

They look like a wholesale company so I am not sure I can buy directly from them. They say you can buy there products at Bunning's and Miter 10 an other places. I have not seen BB though at Bunning's nor Miter 10. But hopefully Gunnersons will be able to help .

unfortunately I haven't found any AMAZING burls yet. I have found quite a few on australianburls.com but I was hoping that there are some here in Australia that I can find. I will continue to search and hopefully find some somewhere.
