I've been shopping around for poplar/tulipwood. It all seems to me to be moer expensive than it should. Does anybody know how much we should be paying for this?

Dragon Timber in Leeds-- a bit south of you I'm afraid, but if I recall correctly, one of the fairly recent purchases that came into the workshop was charged at about £19 a cube for 1". Prices of course may have changed over the last few weeks or months.

Thats reasonable, where you get them prices.

So some Tulip at that price floats my boat for some projects I do.
Not very much of a range as far as I know marcros, but the where I work has been buying from them for quite some time and, because of that I think, they are pretty good at sourcing what we are looking for.
