Anyone have any idea how much reclaimed(ie 2hnd) Burmese Teak sells for per cube, ballpark figure? Apparently it's around R120k per cube new

Rarewoods in the Cape has some:

THICKNESSES                 26mm    38mm    50mm    76mm  

BURMESE TEAK  LONG 159,550 161,180 163,560 165,950 > 2,75m: R175,690

That's ex-vat, so 1 inch lumber is around R180K a cubic meter ...

very nice zak.

 

I really want a nice work room one day

 

I make use of my Makeshift Garage and the compact workshop of mine... But it works for me, I'm just glad I don't live in a complex with their restrictions... I can do as I please and my neighbours are quite cool and accomodating...

Around R2000 per sheet...

what grade is that?

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

That price is not so bad for 30mm thick quality ply. 30mm is quite a chunk. Will make for one serious tabletop or worktop. Work out how much this will cost you to laminate using hardwood strips, then it suddenly seems quite fair.

 

AFAIK, the same quality ply in 19mm thick is about R1200 per sheet. Now compare this price to the price you pay for the usual chipboard crap, keeping longevity and workability in mind. MDF and chipboard is fine, as long as you keep water and moisture away. In the long run, this is not such an easy thing to do.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

what grade is that?

It's a BB grade, with a "wire cross" finish on the faces, which gives it an anti slip quality, our customer builds trailers for Coca Cola, they use the boards for the floors.

Ah, so not that great.

My mate don't post on the Hub much, so I'll brag on his behalf. No sanding involved.

It's great for the application [emoji12], this specific board is hard, and the finish is chosen so the crates don't slide off the truck. Different boards for different applications. We sell a lot of ply, but very little for furniture grade application. If the customer requires a better quality than our standard, we buy it out.

 

 

I have a bit in stock...

I've also made most of my furniture, but those photos I've deleted from my account, as I noted there are people who started copying my designs.

Those are BEAUTIFUL. 

 

Mind sharing your furniture pics? I'm in the middle of deciding how to build a new lounge suite.

Question - where to get A/B ply in CT, 21mm or 18mm? And what cost per sheet?

Paul Moeller & Co and ITM used to have stock. But most ply grades were BB/BB and lower ircc.
