Sourcing 200mm by 200mm Oak for timber framing, from Ireland, the U.K. or Poland? for use in the RoI.

[difflock]

Our Polish son in law asked me did I know any likely suppliers, here in N. Ireland, because another Polish joiner friend of his has built himself a traditional Oak framed and pegged house for himself, down about Dublin somewhere, which has resulted in a few people asking him to build them a similar dwelling.

But he needs to source the Oak?

I can only suspect with the RoI being in the EC, and the Polish connections, that it would make sense to import the timber direct from Poland?

Or what could a U.K. supplier or sawmill offer? Since any prices I have found when searcing online appear to be exhorbinate.

I will be phoning the few contacts I know of here in N.I. tomorrow.

I would obviously need to get more detail re likely lengths and quantities.

But any other input would be more than welcome.

Thank you, in anticipation,

Marcus
