Janus Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Is that just one length of 2.4 ×19mm for a total price of £45? When I enquired at my local diy for a small amount of hardwood, they didn't sell it. They sell just about everything else. There is probably very little demand due to the price.

melv Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Have a look at antique furniture auction sites. The couple I've been to sold some lovely tables, wall units and wardrobes for next to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippogriff Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 Sadly. Delivered. I dunno, feels expensive, I agree - but where locally can I get it for a lot cheaper? That's my problem. I want stuff I can work with readily, not having a thicknesser, jointer etc.. This beech PAR should get me half way there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not Sheff but Ponti's (Kinsley, near the dog track) not that far and I can recommend these guys from when I've been putting cigar box guitars together. Always helpful, certainly knowledgeable about wood and a good selection of Hardwoods always in stock, give them a call you never know. https://www.kinsleytimber.co.uk/contact Keep safe ps; the prices have always been right as well.

They have a wood workshop out the back. I have no idea if they’d sell what you’re looking for but it might be worth giving them a ring? I would recommend Richardson's too, we have bought all different kinds and sizes of wood from them over years, my other half is one who has worked with wood over the years so when he comes in later I will ask him if Richardsons do what you are looking for.

cfandtwalker Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I know this is an old post, 😉 but if still in need try Albion Timber at Birley Carr. Had some fantastic oak and other well seasoned timber from them. Nice lad too… https://www.albiontimber.co.uk/products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at a well-reviewed Triton model (TPT125) that came in at a reasonable price... but everywhere seemed to be out of stock of it. It's quite an investment when you don't really know what you're buying... most of my other gear is Makita, but a Makita thicknesser is mega-money. I'm looking for lengths of 13mm thick, 170mm wide beech... not because I'm fussy... because my road is full of beech trees, and also carries that name, so it had meaning. On this occasion I may need to bite the bullet and purchase some 19mm thick, 170mm wide 2,100mm lengths of beech online (£33 each)... I have no bandsaw (or thicknesser) to thin them down, so what I make will be extra sturdy. 😲 Engaged, but dropped them an email from their Contact Us page... their stock list on the site implies not, but you never When it comes to woodworking machines the older the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
