boards well as the room continue through.

Thank you.



Yes - following on from an earlier thread - a reclamation or salvage yard.

Where are you?

The one's I've been to usually have an excellent stock of what you're after.
Some I've seen on the web specialise in hardwoods too at surprisingly
reasonable prices, occasionally a normal yard might get a job lot in.

Cheers

Seconded, I had a similar experience of having to match boards (In my
case 1890s boards, half a room, due to woodworm). Reclamation yard had
exactly what I needed for less than the cost of doing the same area in
1990s chipboard.

I'm on the Bradford/Leeds border but can also go to lancashire for it.

The message

I got some second hand boards from a place in Silsden 15 odd years ago.
Went by the name of Muffs. Don't know if it is still a going concern as
Mr Muff wasn't exactly in the first flush of youth even then. I don't
have a current telephone directory but the number was still listed 2
years ago (as a ltd co).
