I’m hoping to get a piece of kwila about 600 x not less than 90 x not less than 19mm.

 

Timber merchants who sell kwila typically do not offer it as cut short lengths and I don’t want to buy a full length.

 

This doesn't lend itself to postage so happy to pick up in the greater Auckland area. I’m located on the North Shore.

 

Some friends have a piece of floorboard that needs replacing in their 1960’s traditional bach and I've offered to do it for them. We don’t know what sort of wood it is - probably a native timber - but it’s mid-dark reddish-brown and a piece of kwila patched-in and polyurethaned will fit the bill well. This is mainly for the colour - we could use pine then try to stain it to match - but that's a fiddle.

 

Please PM me if you can help.

This turned out to be a bit of a storm in a teacup. Went to Bunnings - they had the profile I was looking for and were happy to cut me their 1m minimum length. Beautiful piece of kwila and good colour for what we want.

 

So thanks again @Andib - all sorted.
