Looking for wood for woodturning

[Ian Leach]

As the title says really im looking for some wood so i can turn it into woodturning blanks, cherry, yew, oak, laburnum, robinia, anything really. It would be nice if its dry already, i know it might be a long shot as postage or travel will be the decider.

Thinking about buying in plank form and cutting to size myself, so far i have found scottish hardwoods on ebay which are reasonable price wise any help or links are appreiciated.

 

The reason i am asking is that i have just had about £200-£300 worth of woodturning blanks stolen, Its taken me about a year to dry out and ready for turning and some one has nicked them probably for a bit of fire wood:sad:.

Oh for ****'s sake; we'll have to nail each log down soon. Sorry to hear that Ian.

If you're interested I'm due to drop a 3 years dead standing Monkey Puzzle in September; DBH must be 40". It's a fair way from you (West Sussex) but it's only a couple of hours drive. Would be happy to discuss minimising aggravation. PM if you like. Jon.

Sorry to hear you've had a break in... We've all suffered it. Anyway I have a pretty big supply of timber, much of it dry (I have a couple of kilns) so if you wanted to e-mail me [email protected].

 

I have cherry, elm, oak, ash, acacia, yew, holly, plenty spaulted beech...

 

I can do you a load of wood for £8-00 for each 25kg.

Also I often go up to Cheltenham to play golf with my brother so we could maybe sort something out to reduce transport costs.

Ive seen some good bowls turned in monkey puzzle. I have some yew but it is a whole trunk.
