looking for uk supplier for hardwoods

[shinzam]

Hi All

I am looking for a uk supplier of hardwoods. I am currently using old floor boards mainly oak and bamboo, but have been given some solid walnut. I sand the boards down to get an good finish on both sides about 3/4" thick, but I am restricted on the size of patterns that I can use.

looking forward to your replies.

I ran across this link in the UK when I was looking up the difference between Baltic Birch plywood and Russian Birch Plywood. This company carries (imports with all certificates) hardwoods, BB plywood and so forth.

http://www.lathamtimber.co.uk/

Of course I know nothing about this company, except I found this link.

Please, if you contact this company, let us know how you rate it. Bob, our moderator, may want to add them to our Other Great Sites for Wood vendor.

Hi All

Thanks for you replies.
Steve the craft site is a great place to start you were right when you said it was good. It has a lot more than the wood which I can use, I only hope my credit card can keep up.
Phil I tried that latham timber site but no luck they only deal in large orders but did give me a few other sites to follow up, I am still waiting to hear from them, but thanks anyway.
Gill the links page is great lots of company sites to visit as I said to Steve I only hope my credit card can Keep up.

Thanks again Graham.

Today i had the oppertunity to get some nice Holly, i think i got about 50 kg now and there is more to get in the following days to come...Gonna dry it for turning and intarsia.

And me also reley on old floorboards, the nearby timberyard supplies for a few pounds in Ash, Oak, Maple, Cherry but for the more really fibrent colours i also need to buy some....I go to Axminster here nearby if i have/want to...
At the moment i can cope on what i have now.

hi graham
dont forget also, their catalogue is free, so order it from their site. A visit there is recomended, but as you say, you need an empty credit card as you can fill it easily.
