Outdoor furniture advice please

[Ninaninja]

 

Hello expert!

I have decided to make outdoor table as my very first woodworking project. Could you please advise me what kind of wood is good for this project? I have measured all dimensions of my first project but I have no idea how to order the cutting service from Bunnings. Your advice will be very appreciated 😊

Hi @Ninaninja.

It appears Kwila would be the NZ alternative to Merbau and is offered in similar sizes.

We look forward to you sharing some progress pictures once you start your project.

If there is anything else I can be of assistance with, please let me know.

Hi Mitchell,

This is my progressed design for the bench.

I will start with this first and see how I go.

Since NZ is only allowed people to shop online, I will just wait and keep pondering til lockdown gets down to level 2.

Have a good weekend!
