Hi Dave.

Steve Wright at Elston sawmill is a excellent supplier of native turning blanks, though most of his stuff is only part seasoned, it is quite reasonably priced.

He`s just off the A46 near Newark, but stands at a lot of the woodturning clubs within a large radius of Newark.


What timber are you after?

Hi Dave

I can also recommend Steve Wright. It's been a while since I have been up there but I had some big fiddle back sycamore bowl blanks and some yew boards which produced some really nice work. His prices were really fair too.
