Devon Hardwoods

[[2574]]

Did anyone else on here use Devon Hardwoods for decent timber pre-pandemic? Regrettably covid has led them to shut their retail operations so I’m now stuck for a supplier of decent quality hardwoods in Devon. Any suggestions for decent oak, ash, elm and suchlike supplier local to Devon? I can’t deal with rough sawn planks, I really need planed boards. TIA. Rob

is Yandles in Somerset close enough?

Thanks, another 30 miles or so but well worth it I think.

Devon's a big place!

Yandles will deliver. I got some slats for a boarding platform from them at a good price - they were sold as slats for garden benchesl

Not sure what they keep these days but Beach Bros in Exeter?

If it's anything like the situation near Cambridge, few hardwood suppliers will provide machines wood. My local outfit only supplies rough sawn timber - you have to plane it yourself.

Which really means buying a decent planer/thicknesser which I'm not keen to do.

Sorry to hear of Devon Hardwoods. We used them a lot when rebuilding our cottage in the Blackdown Hills.

They’re still very much doing their trade business, it’s just the “Craft Shop” as they called it which they’ve shut down. It was a Pandora’s box of lovely quality hardwood in manageable quantities which could be browsed and bought at leisure. If a larger quantity is needed I’m sure they’d be very willing to help!

Also round our way they have a minimum order of a whole plank; that varies in size, but at least an inch thick, 6-8" wide and maybe 6' long. They won't cut it.
