British Hardwoods

[Bryan Bennett]

Cordy and myself had a visit to British Hardwoods at Keighley this afternoon.We found it a very pleasant experience,and of course bought some wood.I would not buy any wood without seeing it first.To me it was like a child going into a sweet shop,and I soon picked up the wood that I wanted. :? I did leave a little for Cordy to buy :wink: ,and we both came away with some good quality pieces of wood,all planed ready for use. :roll:

I've been meaning to call in there but haven't had a chance yet. What's it like? Do they have a good range?

To be honest I saw some thin wood and there was what I wanted,I would imagine that you may go and the choice may be limited.I was lucky in finding some that suited me.Cordy bought some wood that suited him.It was difficult to make a judgment what could be available if you went.The choice of wood could vary depending what they have been cutting.I am sorry if I am being vague but that is how I saw it. :roll:

Yes a good trip Bryan, next time I will spend more time looking around

Not a great amount on display but the staff are great and very patient

I got american oak, walnut, sycamore and beech; with a little friendly barter -- £40
I'm no expert on timber; new to woodworking -- but I'm sure we got better deals than trading by post

I will photograph my haul later

Hello John Curiosity has got me, what are you planning to make with the laminated pieces

 

[Cordy]

Not decided yet Pete
It just looked good; so I bought

One I believe is American Oak, other one Beech and Walnut
It took Bryan about 30 seconds to select his wood -- I was still climbing up the stairs !

Your plant holders turned out nice

 

[PeteG]

Hello John. The plant holders were made on your Sealey Have a look here if you fancy making one, http://stevedgo.ipower.com/cat/?page_id=112
There's six or seven different designs including the fairy and little girl.

Thanks Pete

I searched hight and low for flower pot girl with brolly not realising they are all on the same plan

Now regretting not buying a couple more of those laminated boards, they have great potential
