Its good to see that Mal Ward from Boutique Timbers has his own Blog site now easier to find and point others in his direction. I have bought a small amount of timbers of Mal and his brother Greg, scented NSW Rosewood, a few small burls, Huon Pine. They seem to stock a fair range of large slabs also.
The first time I saw their timber selection was at The Sydney Timber and Woodworking Show 2005. The rain had given the timber a soaking but with it brilliant colours.
Mal frequents a number of shows large and small, Newcastle is another one and Kiama Wood Crafts Group's yearly weekend event .
The recent handles for the wedding gift also made from some of this Rosewood.
This last show at Kiama they had some stunning timbers, slabs, planks, burls and blanks. I bought a nice piece of Huon Pine (not shown here).
A number of the members from OTGA Ornamental Turners and Blue Mountains Woodturners often buy from Mal as well.

How could I say anything but go ahead you have been so good to me it'll give both Sue and I a good feeling to give something back.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget you have some work up there I believe from David Laird from OTGA a few photo's of that might help to.
