Janus #13 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
melv #14 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Hippogriff #16 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

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.

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.
