What type of timber are you using in the tillies ? Ideally , we want minimum shrinkage over time .

I have heard that the exotic Cyprus pine is very stable, the farmers planted rows of them many years ago and around here they have been mostly got rid of for some reason . I used to see huge piles of the stuff burnt, what a waste
He could mill any size Mike. 3/4" would be pretty straight forward.
My budget was a bit tight when I did the WOT. I had selected a heap of 7/8 Baltic pine from a demolition yard until he told me the price. I had to go for cheaper used pine flooring and other assorted pieces for the heavier bearers.
The Tilly's are getting KD hardwood. Hardly authentic English oak but it will weather well here.
