Lignum Vitea/hornbeam??

[Cottonwood]

Does any one know a source of supply for Lignum Vitea or Horn beam timber? I am looking for small planks 2 to 3 inches wide, 1/2 inch thick, 9 inch long minimum. I have never used these timbers before, what are they like for working with, glueing up etc?
cheers Jonathan

Try Timberline in Tonbridge, Kent

Arguably the best source of the more unusual tropical timbers in the UK
