Alternative timber

[seventhdevil]

i'd love to get a decent supply of goncalo as it's a lovely timber.

It is that Steve, can't help you out I'm afraid as I have one short plank left and that now is earmarked for various stock items. Not sure how long we will be able to get for. Yandles usually have some in stock though.

i had considered bringing some in last year from vandenbergs which was where i was going to get the angelim vermelho material for my skittle balls.

they also sell loads of other species and goncalo alves is amongst them. sadly my move halted those plans as i was going to buy a fair few cubic feet of different species and see them as blanks in my shop that i had intentions of opening. constructional timbers are just as nice and you don't see them in any turning shops.
