Timber
« on: July 27, 2007, 02:18:51 PM »

 ??? ???Hello,
I am trying to locate a supplier of timber to enable me to scratch build certain models. Unfortunately here in my part of South Yorkshire I have to travel miles and then it is pot-luck.
I have decided that the only sure way of a supply is to buy on-line. I am particularly looking for Balsa and ply in imperial  and of the sizes 3/32"  in width 1/2" & 3/4".
Who better to enquire than my Forum Modellers, hence this request. Thanks. Ceres. :) :) :)

Hi,
This guy is in Snaith and does mail order. I have not used him yet but a yacht I bought has his timber on the deck (Atlantis in 'customers models')
He also does rigging etc.
