Zacapa Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 This is a question mainly for those living near czar central. I know people have asked about finding spanish cedar around oz before but does anyone know a source of spanish cedar around the Brisbane (Australia) region? Ive confirmed that a NSW mob have it http://www.boutiquetimbers.com/ but i am wondering if there is any closer to home that doesnt need posting. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 This may be a little help: http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=37669&hl Also, if you do a titles only search using cedar, you'll find a couple of threads with sources in Sydney and other parts of Oz.

AndrewNR Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I'm not sure if this helps you.. But I was looking at these guys not so long ago. Still am I just havent settled on a humidor yet. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigharpoon Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I'm not sure if this is true in Australia but here in the NE US where I live it is MUCH, MUCH, MUCH, MUCH cheaper to find a hardwoods supplier and drive to their store as opposed to buying it over the internet. I've seen prices on the internet go for as much as $50 board foot!!! Crazy! I can walk in a store that sells hardwoods and get Spanish Cedar for $5.25/board foot (a board foot is 12"x12"x1"). I'd check around where you live before I bought anything on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zacapa Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 FYI for others around Oz looking for cedrela odorata - Boutique Timbers have some and have quoted with postage a lot cheaper than I was expecting. I am putting some shelves in my wineador and bought 4 sheets 9mm thick 280mm square - AUD$30 including postage. I think thats a good deal ...but for future reference if anyone knows a place local to Brisbane that would be handy also. This may be a little help: http://www.friendsof...wtopic=37669 Also, if you do a titles only search using cedar, you'll find a couple of threads with sources in Sydney and other parts of Oz. Thanks Colt, I have yet to call the Harris Cabinet Makers place that Rob mentioned in 2006, they might be a source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooie Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I have used these guys in NSW: http://www.trendtimbers.com.au/home.html Easy to deal with and shipping to Melb was cheap. It was thick stock though to I has to split an rip it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fineboxes Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Hi Zacapa, Just read your post, I have Spanish Cedar in various sizes if you need any more in the future. I'm not a Timber Suppler, but someone who enjoys making boxes and have hoarded a bit of timber over the years. This Spanish Cedar it is from my private stock but I have more than i'll ever use if that helps. Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
