A local timber merchant will probably be cheapest.

Builders merchants, diy stores, timber merchants. All of these do wood, try ringing them, you'll also know exactly how much it will cost.

They have hardwood? If they do I wouldn't trust their prices or quality. Must be timber merchants online but I would expect them to have prices above your local quality timber merchant, not to mention delivery.

have bought from them once (a deal on offcuts) some time ago

I have no idea how they compare with other stockists but at the time they had what I wanted at a good price.

The only hardwood I've ever seen in B&Q is those mouldings at an extortionate price.

[Michael Mcneil]

I couldn't find what he was looking for and doubt he will get the same price that a timber yard will do. I'm afraid that the best way to find the yard is in yellow pages and then go there not just phone.

A phone call will estabish they sell hardwood but the way that it comes off the tree means seeing it first hand is still the best way to do business.

That's probably why you won't find many such dealers willing to waste time with the net. I posted recently about going abroad for it. If you are going abroad by car for any other reason, take a roof rack and explore. You will be pleasantly suprised.

Have a look at Lavers

They're a Sheffield company with a few outlets around Yorkshire. If you can't get to one they may deliver.

What about some of the 'assistants'? Their heads must be something similar!

[Andy Dingley]

a list of web addressable suppliers.

I use these people a lot (near Wells)

They also have a reasonable on-line price guide.

Thanks for all your replies much appreciated have called at one builders merchant today and was quoted 8 per foot. The project is for a loft bed (high sleeper) Argos have a nice tubular one at about 298 with mattress and workstation, but fancied building one myself the wood is project is going to be more expensive then the above but I will have the satisfactory of knowing I have done a good job myself.

Thanks again
