JUST ARRIVED & THEY LITERALLY WEIGH A TON! GIGANTIC TROPICAL HARDWOOD RAILWAY SLEEPER TIMBERS

It's an understandable question. What can you do with a one ton railway sleeper that's 8.5m long? It requires a bit of creative imagination. Maybe you could use it to build a bridge over rapids, or an exciting open plan house extension, or support a daring elevated platform that leans out from a cliff edge. Maybe a tree top walkway, or a medieval trebuchet to hurl large boulders at pesky neighbours. It's a unique piece of timber and it requires an amazing project!
