I'm surprised that no-one has already pointed you to at least two web
sites for 'exotic timber
supplies' in the UK

http://www.exotichardwoods.co.uk/index.asp

http://www.toolpost.co.uk/pages/Hard...l_timbers.html

I've used the first one and had excellent service but the second has an
on-line ordering service for a
limited range.

Thank you JG, the two links are very good, in particular the last one Tool
Post, easy to understand for peeps such as me :-)
