Default Where to buy timber?

I just rang the old Channel Woodcraft number and got diverted to
TimberClick. Apparently the Folkestone yard is now nothing to do with them,
and is just a small one-man operation with limited stock (George Bauer, on
01303 850 231). "TimberClick are virtual only, sir" I was told.


Hmmm.... if true that's a bit sad :-(

"Their" website certainly never resembled their real stock, and appeared
to be nothing to do with the woodyard from what I could see. Dunno about
a one man band - there certainly used to be several people there shuffling
wood about, and a couple more in the shed with the machines. Sad if it's
really gone - I'll see if I can pop around that way sometime.

From the Timber Click website: "The buying of timber products is
traditionally somewhat cumbersome and awkward - TimberClick removes the
hassle of having to trapse [sic] round timber yards". Well, nuts to that.


Indeed. Another decent old timber yard gone (I'm hoping not, but it doesn't
sound good...)
