Hard wood

[RorieT]

Hi folks,

Just a quick question… where do you guys buy nice wood from? All timber yards near me do graded timber and perhaps some oak skirtings if your lucky….I am looking for a load of variety!

I have been looking online, but not having too much luck!

Hi Rorie

Can't help you at all - but very interested in any replies!

Cheers

Surrey Timbers is great. Not sure if they ship, so may not be much help where you are.

Edit: they do mail order on some timber.

Have you tried James Latham Timber ? They have a depot here;
James Latham Scotland
Pharos, Brittain Way
Eurocentral
Lanarkshire
ML1 4XJ

They have a good range and good prices. I use the depot at Gateshead. Being new here I can't post links but check out their website

Slightly oblique idea, but well worth considering as a source of more interesting timbers: how about getting to know one or two tree surgeons, or landowners, in your area - they often have one or two interesting specimens which might otherwise end up as firewood?

Cheers, W2S

Whereabouts are you in Scotland? Check out the ASHS website for local sawmills. There's also Brodies Timber near Dunkeld if you're after imported stuff.

Try Robinson Sawmills near Edinburgh [email protected] 07832 106156. I know he does hardwoods and is happy to organise carriage. Think he kilns as well if that's of interest.

Yes Jon does saw and kiln dry his own timber. Very busy guy. Will stick stuff on a pallet for delivery as well.
If you have the time and space have you considered milling up logs yourself with an alaskan mill and drying them as well?

Scawton sawmills & Timbmet have made up for most of my lumber so far, and they deliver all over
