Where is this Alex?

Get yourselves along their if you can, you will not be disappointed. I won't be able to get down on this occasion but I visited about 3 months ago and filled the back of my motor. They have some cracking deals on their wood and the quality is spot on. I have also brought a lot of timber from them through mail order and have always been pleased with what they have sent me. Paul and his dad Rob are both Woodturners and will make you very welcome.
Without doubt when I need to replenish some stock they will be my first Port of call.

I'm a Southerner but that a million miles away unfortunately so can't make it. I went to ISCA on Saturday and was disappointed how much he sells his wood for despite being told he was cheap by other people. Almost double the price that Yandles sells wood for in some cases.
From what I saw he really is not cheap he makes thing from his wood as well so he probably charges more as he know once it finish he could make more

Are they discounting a lot? Some of their bundles look great. Or is there more wood in the picture than one would get. Ni have no clue!
not sure i have only heard it on the grape vine so might be wrong
I can assure you that you will not be disappointed, make sure that you have plenty of room in your car if anything like me you will fill it.

Cheers Vic. I saw your review on line!
Hi All,
To clear up a few myths about Home of Wood open day I rang Paul with regards to what they have on offer.
His reply was basically that they themselves are Woodturners and the idea of the open day was to put on offer timber to fellow Woodturners at a reasonable price.
20 kg bulk buys of blanks will be available for £45 - £50.
2" - 3" - 4" boards will be available at prices that Woodturners can afford.
3/4" & 1" boards will be available at really cheap prices.
Spindles of all sizes will be available.
Vast amount of boards suitable for furniture making or cutting your own blanks.
They also have some very large blanks and some apple blanks that are more than likely the biggest available in the country.
A Big Bargain Bin of Blanks starting at 20p a go.
As I have previously stated I have no connection whatsoever with this company other than being a very very satisfied customer.
My only reason for posting about this company is that like most of you, finding a supplier of quality timber at prices that are not out of the window have been hard to find. I personally have sourced timber from suppliers all over the Country and have in the past paid some stupid prices, but fair enough for some decent timber. At Home of Wood I have found a supplier that supplies quality timber at a fair price bit most importantly cares about the service that they provide.
Cheers
