: G'day Craig,

: I cannot help with your design question, but as an alternative to WRC have
: you considered Paulownia ? It is around the same density as WRC & is
: grown here in Oz so I reckon it might me cheaper.

: Regards,

: Phil.

The paulownia/Kiri does work out to be a bit cheaper. WRC suplies in Ippy are asking about $1.45 per M for 20x6DAR where as the Paulownia is available for $1.25 per M for 20x6DAR. If I build a stripper I will incorporate contrasting timbers for sure. Needs to look good from behind because I'm hoping that will be where the other fellas spend most of the time.
Cheers
