where to buy wood in the UK?
December 8, 2009
I'm an immigrant from the US and back home it's easy and cheap to go to a DIY store and buy all kinds and quantities of lumber, plywood, pine, hardwood, etc.
Over here, the stores like B&Q and Homebase have such a limited selection--only softwood and particle board--and the prices are outlandish. It would be cheaper to go buy used furniture and break it down than to buy the lumber.
So, if you want to build a bench or a book case, where do you go to buy wood? Specifically, hard wood like oak or birch and plywood. Can you get it at a builder's supply? Are there wholesale outfits just for that?
