walnut slabs

[joeblacky]

hi guys, i'm pretty new to the site, with this actually being my first post, so go easy on me here.

 

i was wondering if any of you guys know who's best to talk to if i'm looking for pretty large walnut slabs for bespoke furniture in the UK?

 

also as a side note, i don't suppose anyone happens to have a walnut root ball still whole lying around, or maybe knows where an interested party might acquire one?

 

thanks in advance chaps

What area that might help people

[joeblacky]

i'm based near Blackburn in Lancashire, but as the Mrs has a house in crewe i'm quite flexible around the northwest and into cheshire

[joeblacky]

also i'd be willing to pay some good coin for any large slabs with decent grain, or any extra large logs for that matter. i'm having real trouble sourcing any at the minute

I've got some walnut butts to slab up in the next few weeks. What sort of sizes you looking for ??

[joeblacky]

honestly the bigger the better, i'll happily buy green slabs at around 3 inches, the quirkier the grain the better! anything that's around a few feet wide and over 4 feet long would be a bonus.

 

once you get it slabbed would you be able to send me a few photos?

No worries message me your email address when it's milled will forward pictures
