Hi Neighbours,
I'm trying to source some cheap/free timber for a hobby project. I want to try making a backyard axe throwing target.

I'm trying to source some cheap/free timber for a hobby project. I want to try making a backyard axe throwing target.
Rather than spending a fortune at a building supply place for new timber, I'm hoping people in the community will have some suitable stuff lying around that they don't want.
I'm mainly looking for thick boards/planks, ideally with the following minimum dimensions (thicker, wider or longer is fine):
40mm (4cm) thick
200mm (20cm) wide
1200mm (1.2m)
long
It doesn't matter if the timber is treated/untreated, wet, weathered, dirty, painted, has nails/nail holes, etc, as long as it's not riddled with bora or rot. It's going to have axes hurled at it repeatedly so it needs to be solid.
Pine would be ideal but any other type of natural wood should be OK.
I may be able to work with timber of slightly different dimensions and I'm also keen on any other timber I can use to construct a stand/frame or use as backing for the target boards (e.g. plywood sheets, weatherboards).
So, if you have any timber you'd like to get rid of, let me know what you've got and what you want for it. If it sounds like something I can potentially use I'll consider it.
Cheers! :-)

Hi neighbours,
Think you know how old your dog is? Think again.
Multiplying by seven isn't accurate, a new study says. Researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and other leading health institutions across the country have now debunked that common belief.

Think you know how old your dog is? Think again.
Multiplying by seven isn't accurate, a new study says. Researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and other leading health institutions across the country have now debunked that common belief.
According to their findings, a one-year-old dog is similar to a 31-year-old human.

I'd never want to cause one unnecessary pain or suffering, which is why we've chosen to manage pests in our home with traps. It's not ideal, but it's better - and safer - than poison. I've done a little research on humane, effective vermin control during the wet months, when they like to come in from the cold. Take a look:
