Table sized slabs

[treee]

Hello chaps,

 

I'm hoping you guys can point me in the right direction for people selling 80 cm wide + slabs to make a table top out of.

 

I'm aware what I'm after is something with character/ waney edge but other than that I know very little about wood/ where to purchase other than the few guys I've seen online.

 

Walnut would be awesome but seeing th online prices might be out of budget Elm/ oak would be great, something with a lot of character

 

If anyone could give me any guidance it would be massively appreciated.

 

 

Thanks in advance!

how long did you want the table to be, and it may be helpful to know where you are

I would be interested in an oak slab for a table, live in Reading, Berkshire...

I have plenty of oak ash

Elm and walnut near milton keynes. But to be honest clive ( delabodge on here) is near Reading and might be a better bet for the pair of you if he has what you need. Big J in Scotland also ships alot of nice timber by the pallet.

I do also have a planer capable of planing 6 ft wide if you need some assistance in flattening your slab.
