Ok then, how do I get to add a comment on the Wood Suppliers Listings.
I've just got back from Hexhamshire Hardwoods and they are still going strong, still got some great species and giving good service and advise.
I asked about the owner being semi-retired, which is correct, but he's still carrying on trading now and I understand he's getting his son more involved.
So don't give up folks - persevere and keep him busy.

i may well drop in there fairly soon - my fiancee lives in haydon bridge which is handy.

Her parents are in heysham , which is handy for G&S too.

I'm surprised to hear that Hexhamshire Hardwoods are still going - I tried contacting them a couple of times last year when I needed some timber and they didn't answer the phone. I heard from a couple of sources that they'd closed

As far as I remember turners from the Northumberland club stopped going as a while back couple of people went and they were shut even after phoning to check that they were open.

Now I shop here - http://www.newcastlehardwood.com/newcastlehardwood/services.html I believe that it's run by a couple of young guys that used to work at Hexhamshire - they're very helpful
