Dry boards wanted

[tombo]

I mill and dry small quantities of UK hardwoods mainly for my own small business, but also for a furniture-making employment charity that I help to run : www.londonreclaimed.co.uk

 

I/we sometimes need more dry stuff than I can knock out.

Just wondering if there's anyone out there who sells waney-edge kiln-dried boards (sometimes really well air-dried is OK), preferably in sensible reach of South London. Ideally M25 radius or South East.

 

Just thought someone might know ! All the best.

I sometimes have some well air dried material surplus to requirements. Any particular species, dimensions, quantities of interest etc.

Thanks for all these replies ! Really appreciate them.

 

Personally, I occasionally I need 2" kiln-dried boards when I can't keep up with my own needs. Heading into one of those times very soon !

 

As London Reclaimed, most of our furniture is made to order from reclaimed timber, but quite often we are asked to make pieces from homegrown hardwood. Table tops really must be from KD stuff (2" stuff), but table legs etc can be from well air-dried stuff.

 

Trying to find one or two suppliers close to SE London / Kent ideally.

 

Hopefully be in touch with one or two of you before too long.

 

All the best. Tom
