where is the best place to get some wood from 400mm x 250mm x 50-60mm for a tray also after some burl for a bowl 300-400mm sq or round as hand carving it don't want to pay over the odds for them
As you're reasonably close, try Richard Potter Timber in Nantwich ( www.fortimber.demon.co.uk ) for the tray wood, and for the burr, maybe one of the online turnery supplies firms.
