ChrisLBren Posted September 19, 2018 #1 Posted September 19, 2018 Hello Group, I want to introduce you to my good friend Bob Putnam of Rare Woods. He just sent me an email regarding a nice supply of Boxwood. This guy is first class - I have purchased a flitch of Swiss Pear from him along with some Ebony. This wood is in larger dimensions than most of us need - but I have locally sourced milling operations to reduce my stock to our requirements for ship modeling. Its a very cost effective way to have a good supply of quality wood. Boxwood reply info sheet.pdf mtaylor, paulsutcliffe, Canute and 4 others 7
mtaylor Posted September 20, 2018 #2 Posted September 20, 2018 Thanks, Chris. I took a look and am impressed. I've ordered from them before and they do have nice wood. Have to go dig HMS Visa out of mothballs.
