The prices shown below are based on prices accepted per cubic metre and indicate the range of offers expected for special timbers material offered for sale by tender. Of course each tender contains different material and competition for logs varies from tender to tender. The price range of dollars per cubic metre shown for each material type approximates prices offered for the range of tendered logs, from smaller good quality logs up to the larger, highest quality pieces.
Generally IST Geeveston and IST Smithton only offer material for sale by tender whose quality is very good or better.
Our ability to conduct tenders of specialty timbers material during 2012 will depend on the availability and quality of raw material from which to select pieces for tender.
