Tone Wood

[Tunni79]

Where is everyone sourcing their tone woods from in UK? My supplier, who I've used for years has just retired so I'm on the lookout for a new vendor.

A quick search for 'luthier tone wood supplier uk' brings up several suppliers. We're in France, so the suppliers in Portugal or Spain are our main source, but that won't interest you in the UK, I suppose. Still, half a dozen came up, to get you started.

What use do you have..? Guitar/bass..? Classical, folk, electric, other..? Just askin'; hope this helps.

I mainly make Les Paul style electrics so I'm looking for Mahogany & Maple. I had a really good relationship with my old supplier so got some great deals on some beautiful looking wood.
