hi, i am after interesting, different and rare woods for a few projects i am doing, such as macassar ebony, rosewood (sonokeleng) acaicia, laburnum, bocote, mgurue, spalted beech (not rare as such but seemingly hard to find) etc. etc.
The problem is there is no supplier near me that i can find in chesterfield, apart from craft supplies that only sell small pieces for turning, so it will have to be mail order. I need them to be at least 12" x 3" thickness doesnt matter.
At the moment i am trying http://www.goodtimber.com/good_timber_index.htm and http://www.exotichardwoods.co.uk/ but before i place any orders i wondered if anyone knows anywhere else i can try or if you have used either of these companies ? Or even if there is anywhere near me that i dont know of.
i have ordered a few very nice pieces from http://www.workshopheaven.com and looking forward to delivery of these. cheers Mathew :wink:
