Hey guys, I'm starting to think about my first major bit of furniture. I'm going to build a copy of a really nice bed that is in my folks house. it looks like made from Douglas Fir but i would really like it in black walnut.
my question is ( and excuse my ignorance ) as I don't have a jointer or thicknesses I would like to get hold of some walnut PAR in 4x2 and 4x1 as i could construct almost the entire bed from this. is it usual to get a hardwood like black walnut in standard sizes ? and is it going to cost me the earth to do so if i can ?
where would i be able to get this sort of stuff ? (I'm based on the south coast near Brighton so SL hardwoods is only 50 mins away...)
thoughts gratefully received !
