Any wood/timber suppliers or experts on here?

[EINSIGN]

I am looking for an ongoing supply of wood for manufacturing outdoor furniture and high quality signage.

I have been informed that Oroco timber is particularly good, as it doesn’t split, warp and weather as badly as some other woods in outdoor applications?

Cant help directly but can recomend Vincent Murphy & Co (0151 547 1897) they have a specialist hardwood division and import Oroko & Iroko as well as most other hardwoods (brother uses them for a similar business)

Thanks, I knew I had probably spelt it wrong!

Iroko is a bit like teak (hard and oily) but much harder, very hard to work. I'd say it's prone to splitting too, but maybe I had a cheap bit.

I'd be far too slow and limited but as its sort of on topic this was me today.
