I have struggled like mad over the last year or so trying to connect with people who have spare wood blanks and felled lumber that they want to swap or sell. So I have started a little free forum to try and put people like me in touch with others.
I'm sorry if I'm a breaking a rule by posting this link but there seems to be this lack of communication for turners like myself trying to obtain uk hardwoods without paying through the nose.
