Buying exotic woods - East Englia

Nozzle · 16 Jul 2014

Morning,

I have a conservatory/patio roof that appears to be made of some sort of hardwood, and I need to make a modification to it - but I have now idea where I can even walk into a store with a sample of this wood and come out with a few new lengths of it. Clearly if it ain't standard building material then B&Q wont stock it..

Where on earth do chippies and artists go to buy these nice hardwoods for their craft? (I live in Suffolk so I hope there is a local reader who is East Anglia region)

Edit: After further research, I think it's Cedar, but I want to visit a dealer to confirm)

It might be a bit of a trek from yours but Southgate Timber do hardwood decking and cedar bits and pieces and some other sawn hardwood. Based in Essex near Ongar. Might be worth a call.

Selco do a small range of hardwoods, Luan [Lauan] is commonly used in conservatories.

Thanks for the info guys, I'll look into the Lauan, that does appear very similar to what I have here.
