Hi Peeps

All phone numbers listed on website are now un-obtainable....

I have the new address as : Buildings 2 & 3, Gatherley Road, Brompton on Swale, Richmond, DL10 7JH

......does anyone have a telephone number....are they even open????

no, they have folded.

....Oh Tish and Poo......!!!!!
Any ideas of where I can go now?
(Looking for materials for Guitar building....as opposed to furniture making....if this helps!!)

there is not a great selection of places locally in my experience, and that is for furniture grade stuff. For instrument making, you may have to go even further afield.

There are a few instrument makers on the forum, who may be able to help. I am sure that at least one or two are west yorkshire based.

These guys at Crimson Guitars are helpful http://crimsonguitars.com/ and have a great video. Often do a display at Yandles shows in Somerset ... next one is July 18th but not sure they will be there. You could check.

I'm not in the States :lol: .....looking for something local!!!
Would always choose to eyeball any guitar timbers....so buying from that kind of distance isn't really an option.
Great for hardware and bits though....have used 'em lots!!

or a few more ......

Thanks for that...but mainly a list of makers...

Cheers for that anyway!

There is a bloke near Newark, Notts (not Mass., you'll be pleased to hear). I can't remember his name, but apparently he does all kinds of tone woods. I think that Mike at MAC timbers pointed me in his direction. I've lost the details, unfortunately, but this might jog someone else's memory.

There's a school of Musical Instrument Crafts in Newark. http://www.lincolncollege.ac.uk/school-musical-instrument-crafts

A long shot but they might know of this "bloke near Newark"

Touchstone Tonewoods, Timberline, David ****, Tonetech, Prime timbers. Just a few.
Depends what type of instrument and type of wood. I import some of mine.

John Boddy's Twitter feed was recommending Duffield Timber down the road in Ripon as a replacement. Not as wide a selection, but they do Walnut, Oak, Maple, Wenge, Iroko, Zebrano etc.

Shame about JB - seems the parent company took them down.

Always had good wood and a good service from them. Sign up for their occasional newsletter as they sometimes have a free carriage offer with no minimum spend.

I believe they were bought out by Associated Timber

What a shame they have disappeared!

Cheers Peter
