AntonyUK Posted April 19, 2013 #1 Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) Hi. Just starting on my triton cross section and needed some timber. Found an UK outlet for timber and thought I would share it with the rest of me ship mates. http://hobby.uk.com/materials/wood.html For timber. http://hobby.uk.com/materials/metal/etched-mesh.html for mesh. There are other bits on the site that might be of interest to us. Got my order today and the quality is spot on. Postage was very cheep and was send 24 hour delivery. Regards Antony.

tkay11 Posted April 19, 2013 #2 Posted April 19, 2013 You can also get pear in a range of thicknesses at Jotika. You have to ring them to place an order and they say it takes about 3 weeks to deliver.

NMBROOK Posted July 21, 2013 #6 Posted July 21, 2013 Thank you to you both.Excellent products.I am buying pear sheet for my carvings from the model-dockyard.com based in Truro .We seem to struggle a bit in the UK if we want something other than walnut or lime.There is a hardwood supplier local to me which stops pear in large pieces but that will have to wait until I have the ability to mill wood at home.
