intarsia exotic wood

[pixy]

Hi all
I have found a supplier of exotic woods in the USA who is willing to send small amounts of certain speices of exotic wood all about 1/2" thick, woold anyone be interested in buying small peices.They include Bocote,leopard wood, Padauk, Yellow Heart, Purple Heart, Zebra wood.

Can you define small amounts and give us some idea of cost at all? Name of supplier if they have a website? Have you added VAT and import duty or is the order small enough not to attract this?

Cheers,

Steve.

I'm surprised you have to go to America for that wood. Chas has a list of timber suppliers which might be worth checking out before ordering from overseas. I can get most of the exotic woods I need from Good Timber, which isn't too far from me. Perhaps you might find a local supplier such as Martin Pidgen in Grimsby has what you need. There's also Yandles mail order service to consider.
