I use stiles and bates but also keep an eye on ebay as sometimes good bargains turn up. Had 55 American black walnut a few weeks ago for £14.40.

I've just spotted where you are in the country :bwink:
Instead of driving for 1½ house in each direction from Wardley to Exotic Hardwoods I could have saved myself a 2 hours and 50 miles and bought from you and collected :shocking::duh:

Chas, I'm even closer than you think - just down the road in Walkden! When I put up the new pen blanks list very shortly feel free to nip over and have a look at the stuff. A cup of tea may appear as well!
