Kiln Dried Oak - Anyone in the Peterborough area for supply?

[tomlt]

Chaps,

 

A friend and I who are both keen hobby woodworkers are looking for a "small" quantity of kiln dried oak in ~27mm thickness, 200mm wide+ and 2.1m+ in length.

 

We're located on the Cambridgeshire/Lincolnshire border, so anywhere around the Peterborough area would be ideal, but we're stuggling to find someone interested in supply ~15 cu ft of European or English Oak at anything like sensible prices, so if you know of anywhere please let us know.

 

Best price so far is Scawton Sawmill, but on such a small order the £70 pallet charge kinda ruins it, and it's a 3hr drive. Several "local" Northamptonshire firms have quoted silly prices, one over £1k!!!

 

Cheers, Tom.

How many lengths so you need?

Try Aswarby sawmill?

Or Morris in Colsterworth?

 

Both close to the border

Thanks guys, will try those, not sure lathams will deal with us small hobby types but worth a go.

 

Since i have a small bandsaw mill (home made) and chilaskan i quite fancy milling some oak for "stock". Anyone supplying smaller saw logs in this same area? Sadly I dont know many local arborists, but would only want a few 18" x 8ft max sticks.

i'm a one man band and can assure you that lathams will deal with anyone mate, i buy from them and it can be as little as £50 or £5000. obviously small amounts you need to pay for delivery which is £50 from memory.

Might be a tad far for but will be felling oak on an ongoing basis from our own woodland and could supply sticks or milled or partially milled on our own bandsaw. No seasoned stock yet as we have only just got felling licence. Located near Dunstable.
