    Hi all! I'm an occasional woodworker and don't buy wood very regularly. I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I might source some wood in Dublin for a project I'm working on. Having got patchy results for sawmills off google I figured I'd come ask the experts (flattery gets you everywhere right?). :D

    I'm looking for a short log of unseasoned pine and a big piece of oak (or two slightly smaller pieces. I'm based in North Dublin (Artane) but I don't mind travelling to get these pieces.

    The oak dimensions would be 500x600x50 (or in 2 pieces 200x500x50mm and 400x400x50mm), the pine log needs to be at least 410mm long. Also, might any of you be able to estimate much I could expect to pay for this?

    Any help at all appreciated!

    No idea on prices, but Brooks on the Naas Road sell all sorts of timber, might be worth a phone call 01 4190000
    Think they can order it in if they don't have what you need

    Clonee Sawmills.

    Higganbotham in Coolock are also good......they have sorted me out with large pieces of oak and larchwood and cutting them to specific sizes in the past.

    Thanks I didn't know Clonee. I know Higginbotham alright, I'm sure they'd have the oak but don't know if they'd have the unseasoned ash.

    I'll check all these out tomorrow.
