As a newbie I have to confess that I know very little about hardwood its characteristics e.g. workability, stability, etc. etc. So far my only experience has been with softwood (B&Q style - cupped and bowed ).
The following are probably very dumb questions but:
I would like to try my hand at dovetail joints (Rob Cosman style) and would appreciate any advice/suggestions on a suitable (inexpensive) hardwood to practice with. I am assuming that I am unlikely to get good results using softwood.
Can anyone recommend a good supplier of hardwoods in the North West of England or North Wales? Where possible I do like to see what I am buying and due to my job I travel around these areas.
