hi Brian thanks for the info I use a company called stiles and bates for my woods to do my bandsaw boxes etc their new 2017 catalogue is due out in January, they have 36 different types of wood on offer from African black wood to yew and their postage is about £10 up to 20 kilos
there is one wood I am definitely going to have a go at now with the scrollsaw is tamboti also known as African sandalwood and supposed to leave a lovely smell in the workshop after cutting - it will be wasted in my garage at the top of the garden - all of the listed woods come either as bowl blanks or spindle blanks their web site is http://www.stilesandbates.co.uk I got 2 pieces 12inch x 12inch x 2 inches of wild mango and faced them up and glued them together cost about £60 but I got 2 absolutely stunning boxes out of it.
they also do a variety bag of Mozambique timber weight about 5 kilos £24 plus postage
if things work out tomorrow I will try and get photos on the site of stuff done over the last month since I got my scroll saw
take care
