Greetings from north of the waal !
It's amazing what you get done when you can't go to the pub, new cladding on the garage, replace the leaking felt on the shed with lightweight tiles (should see me out).
Gallery where I normally sell my guitars closed so resorted to Etsy with some success.
A pal has pestered me for a while to him a replica of Joe Strummer's Tele, even got around to that, built from a Beaton kit (Amazon 55 quid brilliant value for money, now 60 odd).
Played around modifying some older builds (ones that were "too nice to sell", it's like selling your kids for medical research anyway)
Hello.... I am over here at the moment, I was there a short time ago, but my legs got all achy, So I moved, but yes, I am out here in the U.K., about as Far East as you can get before the feet get wet.....!!!!!
Anyone out there in the UK?
I’m trying to get in contact with Beartown John who used to live in Congleton and then moved to Warwickshire. I would be gratefully if he could contact me. Greg
My neighbour came up trumps. Dropped by with a 6ft length of 2x2 hardwood. Turned out to be walnut - magic!
Re Timber, Never walk past a skip without having a shufti! If you are at the coast always keep an eye out for whats been washed up, My best sounding cbg has a neck made from a chunk of pitchpine i found on the seawall 40 odd years ago. If you are in Essex the hardwood offcut shop in Brentwood is an Aladins cave of timber.
Or if you are near Benfleet I have a fair old selection of timber mostly reclaimed, let me know what you are after. My fb page is Mud n Mojo
Jack,
I use - https://www.timbersource.co.uk/
Very good supplier you can buy the exact size you need, expensive for small quanties but I buy 30m+ at a time.
Hope that helps.
What ho chaps! Greetings from Bournemouth.
I have generally had problems finding hardwood for necks, but during lockdown it has been well nigh on impossible. I did get a length of 2x1 oak from B&Q but otherwise nothing.
How have the rst of you fared with wood supplies, and any tips?
