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 · 26-04-2012 9:29am

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 · 03-08-2012 8:23am

For the trees you could give these guys a go -
http://www.kilndriedhardwoods.ie/contact.htm
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.

Thetimberyard have some waney pippy/character oak in 27/28mm boards. Just down the units on the left beside Clondalkin Hardware. Would look the part all right.

Hi There, well I know in Dublin/newcastle theres a place I go to to get timber. They plane it too. Strahan Timber is the name http://www.strahan.ie/
there is the link for them. They are good. Its just off the NAAS road, N7 actually. Not sure if this will help you or if its too far away...

Cheers

Hi rich
Do you know how much the charge for planing timber

Hi,

I think its about 20euro per plank , its a bit expensive, that doesn't include the sides, just the 2 flat surfaces. Though it saves a hell of a lot of messing!!
I recently got Ash and Maple from them. The plane they have is fairly new I gather , it does a good job. Actually they supply schools around the country with timber so perhaps they do deliveries to your neck of the woods. They may throw on a few pieces for you. Give them a buzz. Actually I can give you the name of the guy I talk with. He's Liam beattie, email is sales@strahan.ie.
Hope this helps you...

could anybody tell me what bass wood is im 8 years at the carpentrey game and veyer heard of it .its ment to b great 4 carving ,so if any one knows about let me know thanks

In my experience basswood is used mainly in the manufacture of guitars and other instruments Fender use it a lot as an alternative to more expensive woods, it's meant to be great to sand keeps its shape doesn't split takes water based paints well and readily available in Japan etc but I have not seen it for sale here, I am a beginner to woodwork though.

I think lime is very similar to basswood

They're one and the same thing really, all members of the genus Tilia ... lime tree, linden, basswood, just slightly different species, but all with the same characteristics. It tends to get called basswood in the US and lime wood over here.

Hi guys,

I'm looking to get back into making some wooden boxes and a few other small scale projects. Unfortunately I have no surface planer or thickness planer for squaring stock. I'm doing this as a hobby so I'd prefer not to spend hours planing and thicknessing by hand.

With this in mind, does anyone know where I could get some 1/2" PAO Ash, Walnut, and Oak? I'm looking for boards a minimum of 5" wide and about 3/4 feet long. I'm happy to buy some offcuts off a boardsie rather than a timber supplier if that's easier.

I'm located in Dublin but I'm happy to drive to the surrounding counties to pick it up.

Thanks!

Hi There, I can have a look in my shed. I mostly have 1 inch . I know for boxes etc this would probably be too thick. How much do you need? ( ash,oak, walnut )
