Lincolnshire Timber

[leverb01507]

Hi I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with any timber merchants close to me as i always end up traveling hours to get timber. I have looked at the sticky on wood yards but theres not a lot around me.
What i'm after is somewhere that doesn't mind me having a little rummage through the boards (i'm not after being there for hours).
Price isn't too important as i'm only after a smallish quantity of 2" black walnut (about 2 cube) and the same in sycamore, so for these small amounts i'm not too worried about price and wouldn't mind paying more for good service.
Thanks in advance,

Ben

Hello and welcome,

you could do worse than try

based at Stamford. I have bought from them at shows and was impressed by their product knowledge. Have quite a range of species on their show stand. HTH

Edit: if you get to stamford, English Hrdwoods and MAC are quite close and also worth visiting.

Hi Leverb there are a few other places you could try depending where in lincs you are I am near Boston. Stuart Somerscales in Keelby near Grimsby has large stocks of most hardwoods and are competetively priced and worth a visit and in my opinion have the best stocks and prices in the lincolnshire area. http://stuartsomerscales.com/default.aspx

There is a merchant in lincoln called Holmes Timber on sadler road but have no website but google will find there number. Most of the stuff is just stacked in a huge shed so I would ring before visiting to see if they have what you want and is easy to get at.

There is also Nelson Butler in Horncastle who have some nice timber in stock usually http://www.nelsonbutlertimber.com/ I dont know if they will have the American Black Walnut but may have English Walnut and will have sycamore in plain or rippled.

Hope this helps

cheers

Jon
