Timber Suppliers near CAMBRIDGE

[Anonymous]

I wondered whether anyone could suggest any good, mainly hardwood timber merchants within a reasonable distance of Cambridge. So far I have been using SL Hardwoods of Croydon. No complaints to date but it would be nice to select my own timber and possibly save on delivery charges!

ps. If it helps I mainly use american white oak.

See Chas's list http://quest42.co.uk/woodwork/woodsupplies.htm and try North Heigham sawmills in Norwich - not too far from Cambrige

Hi Alan

Why not try Atkins and Cripps ?

If you spend, I think, 250 pounds it is carriage free. But you are not too far from them.

Well worth a try.

Cheers
