About SLABS FOR YOU - Wooden Slabs & Planks
Slabs For You is a division of Short Shortback’n’Sides located in Waihi, is a
locally owned company servicing the BOP, Hauraki & Coromandel areas.
We acquire logs, mill and store the timber undercover to air dry.
Milling overview.
At Slabs For You our milled product comes from the removals or storm
damage and the work that we do around our area. We like to give the tree
a chance to have a second life, this may be as a bar top a leaner, part of a
boat, a new guitar, kitchen bench tops, or even simple garden edging.
Your imagination is your only limitation. You can be certain that the lumber
from our trees has travelled less than 100 km to be processed and sold on.
You can be certain that MPI native milling permits have been sourced so
that you can buy a completely legal product. You can be certain that we
know the history of the tree and the site the tree was removed from. Why
this is important to us. Simple - no waste is our goal. Even the sawdust
from the milling operation is donated to our local SPCA.
Also many people have never seen timber like the slabs and dimensional
timber we mill for sale. We take pride in knowing the species and its
historical uses. This means we can give great advice for your project.
We are chemical free- some of our timbers can be used on or in the
ground and will last twice as long as treated pine.
Bring your trailer, your ute, your truck, or we can deliver if needed
(conditions and costs apply)
We are open every Friday from 8 till 2 for viewing other times by
negotiation.
