Axminster and Timber

[StevieB]

I notice in the Kent store that Axminster have been holding a supply of turning blanks for a while now. Being an inquisitive sort I mailed them and asked if they would be stocking planks at any time - as a wood machining company it would make sense to go the whole hog and supply timber as well.

The reply I got implies they are actively considering this, but they have been having trouble sourcing a good reliable sustainable supplier of timber. Fingers crossed therefore, we might soon be able to get timber from Axminster as well! Anyone know anything further on any plans towards this end?

Hi Stevie,

This came up not so long a go.

Thanks Richard, although my e-mail enquiry to Axminster was specifically about planks rather than turning blanks. Postage on timber costs a small fortune so if I could get some in person from Axminster's Kent store I would be a happy man!

It's interesting to hear that they're considering it, although, as I can't see them stocking nearly as much as a large timber merchant, I guess their prices would be a little higher than elsewhere?
