Hi all,
I purchased 1 5ft x 5" x 1" walnut, cherry and oak and payed €43 for the 3 lengths. I thought this was extremely expensive. What do you guys think?
I was waiting almost 3 weeks for it as well.
I thought i was gonna get more wood for the money. The bloke told me that Cherry is very expensive. I was disappointed to say the least when i went out to pick it up.

Hi There Irlmonk,

Well if the wood you got was rough and not sanded or planed then it was a little on the expensive side. Where did you get it if you dont mind me asking? Cherry is very expensive but a 5ft plank should only be in the region of 10-15 euro if even that. Walnut a little less 10 say. Oak is expensive enough but I can get 5-6 lengths of oak at 9ftx6x1 for 120euro.
If the stuff you got was ready to use then the price wasn't too bad.

Yup, wee bit pricey. What is the timber for? Can't think of many applications that combine walnut, oak and cherry. Was it european oak, walnut and cherry or american?

[IrlMonk]

Got the timber in Coolock it was PAO. It was imported from Europe. I am gonna mix the timber by laminating into 12" blanks for turning and other small projects.
Thanks for the input folks ;-)

Hi
I am looking for a small off-cut of ebonised mahogany for a sculpture base. Needs to be at least 50 x 20 x 20 cm. I'm based in Dublin but willing to travel. Anyone here have any ideas please?
Thanks
Tara

Had a look at woodworkers.ie but no hardwood blanks or lumber listed - may still be worth a call. Brooks are open on the Naas Rd again. Morgans are there - think the website still lists them near the docks but they are out on the Naas Rd past the M50. Quinn Hardwoods have just opened a place in one of the warehouses beside Clondalkin Hardware (its near Dunnes there). May take more effort looking, but it will work out cheaper if you do the legwork.

I might have a bit of mahogany if you want to do the ebonizing yourself. http://www.egcc.biz/workshop/e/ebonising.htm

Thanks everyone- I'll check out those suppliers and if I'm still stuck I can come back to you about the mahogany snooker leg and/or Fergal B's off cut.
Much appreciated!

Hi there, does anyone know of someone interested in buying trees beech ash etc rather than them being used fr firewood etc

[Reader1937]

For the trees you could give these guys a go -

Remember though there are issues with "domestic" or roadside trees - as these in particular may have old nails etc embedded in them which can easily and quickly scupper a saw blade.
