Hunting Walnut

[barkhousewoodworks]

I live in the Lake District and am trying to find a piece of live edge walnut approx. 700mm x 300mm with a depth of around 25mm but I’m not worried if it’s larger than those dimensions. I’ve tried a few local specialist hardwood timber merchants but no luck. In fact one asked me to let them know if I find any so they can buy some too.

Is there anyone out there that knows of a supplier either in Cumbria or the surrounding counties who may be likely to have any I’d be very grateful if you could let me know.

Have you got the decimal point in the right places? I think you will find at those sizes it will be just bark with a sliver of sapwood on the side!

It might be worth giving Hexhamshire Hardwoods a ring to see if they have any, they're within striking distance of the lakes.

I would be interest to know if you are successful locally, not the easiest place to buy something like this

A bit further but real wood studios in Jedburgh might be worth an ask.
