tulipwood prices?

[Richard Findley]

Just had the bill through for that 2 1/2" Tulip I mentioned, charged at £423.73 per cubic metre +VAT

We buy a reasonable (IMO) amount of Tulipwood and would be interested where you are getting your timber from Richard, and who do you work for The Stig?
We are paying more than the prices you are talking here, or does it need a pack to get these kind of prices?

Hi Johnny,

I get mine from James Latham. Mostly because it's local to me. Stig works for Whitmores (I guess he drives the forklifts around...very fast!! :lol: :lol: :lolwhich is quite local but I'm not sure if they deliver FOC like Lathams do?

Thanks Richard, are you buying several cubic meters at a time to get that price? I haven't dealt with Lathams for several years now, must check them out again by the sound if it.

Took a few seconds for the penny to drop :lol: :lol:

No, I bought 5 boards American Tulipwood S/E KD (straight off the invoice) which came to .0241m cubed. Not that much at all really I suppose.

I usually order mixed board thickness's, but often 2 or 3 of each thickness. Today ordered about 15 boards. Sounds like I need to try Lathams again.
