Hi all, I just got started into woodworking and I'm just wondering if there are any sawmills around Kulai or near JB that offers S4S furniture grade timber (also, kiln-dried), on second thought, sawmills from other places are ok too, I'll try to contact them and ask if they do postage. I've went to quite a lot of timber tradings around my place but most of them just offer rough sawn construction grade lumber and I don't have a planer nor a jointer to make stuff with these stocks. Any help is appreciated.

Hmm, as long as the wood quality good I don't really mind the price (as long as not too expensive la).

Ya, I agree, the timber trading uncle from my place also claim his balau S4S and dry. But when I eye down got warp and thickness not same also... (Is that common?)

@CRaider2 Well, I didn't want to spend another 2k on this hobby as I'm just getting started and I'm not even sure that I will be able to really make something but yeah, it seems that there's no way around a planer/jointer in Msia. Guess I will just have to try my luck!

By planks, do you mean those planks that they use for flooring?
