Charity shops are good but down in the West Country they seem to think we are made of money and charge silly prices sometimes. I did find another possible for this, the Sort-It Centres for waste sometimes have a little "shop" and they sell bits including furniture and small items, I got some nice fittings as some ironmongery as well.

Cheers

I get my wood from this fella. if your patience sooner or later you can get hard wood for around £25.http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/igothelot/m.html?item=371052695642&ha...

I've done it a couple of times but don't be fooled when the guy say's planed all round because  theres still rough areas.I just look at the size of the wood example 40x40  get 2 necks out of that if he got 8 pieces that 16 I can get

and black walnut from this fella,hes open to offers ,again you have to time it right.

B&Q stock stair spindles in various woods. They are about the right size. Our local B&Q has oak & hickory. They are square in section so there will be some shaping to do but they are deep enough for an angled head. sizes 40mm square x 900mm long. prices from £4 - 8 each

Google your nearest sawmill/timberyard and go speak to them.

Your head will spin for the same price as a pint in the pub.

Hate to tell you, MFJ, but the Boddy's site is now just houses - the result of a family row when the old man retired I've been told.

I was sure that I'd posted another supplier where a lot of the Boddy's guys went, but I can't find it. Very posh place, but they sold off the emails of large orders. I got a couple of oak boards that'll be great for fingerboards for a couple of quid each.
