European Lime Wood

[earwigjuice]

Hi, New to the site and loving it, very helpful, answering questions I have had for a long time.

Just wondering whether anyone knows where I can source suitable carving wood. To date I have always used soft woods like pine etc I have read about European Lime wood on this site, however i have tried to get hold of some with no luck. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be extremely grateful

Cheers

I don't know if they stock it but you could try phoning Barnes Branch. Not too far from you in High Wycombe.

Or if you don't mind mail order,Devon Woodturning have a selection - used them for turning timbers,always been happy with the service.

I would try pearwood as well if you can get it.

South London Hardwoods keep lime blocks for carving. They also do prepared tulipwood which can be laminated into large blocks for rocking horses etc. They will do mail order.
