    I collected a load of 9" by 1 1/2" Iroko yesterday for a project and have found that my bandsaw isn't sufficient to resaw the planks into 3/4" boards. Does anybody know where I can get a couple of these boards cut in or around Enfield, Maynooth area. Thks

    Would you not have been better to buy 2 9"x1" and thickness to suit. It would have been cheaper than 1 1/2 timber.

    As you probably know when ripping 9 " down the middle, with teak, its possible they will bow badly. There used to be a sawmill on the bridge in kilcock, I thinks its still there , he may be able to help.

    Any joinery with a good re-saw should be able to sort it out quickly. Dunnes in Rahugh, Kilbeggan, have one if you are badly stuck, they might do it.

    Thanks Kadman for the reply. I'll try Kilkock tomorrow. Yep, I should have bought the 9 by 1. If it doesn't work out I reckon it would make great decking...
