The Forest Products Commission (FPC) regularly auction specialty timbers salvaged from land-clearing projects such as mining and road construction.
Extensive selections of highly prized Western Australian species from the South West and Goldfields regions are offered for sale as individual or bundles of logs or sawn timber.
Auction lots are sized to accommodate small commercial operators, craftspeople and hobbyists who require varying amounts of timber or craftwood.
