hardwood suppliers for gilding

[grahamg]

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone knows of a good supplier of hardwood for carving & gilding? I'm looking for someone who can supply planed lengths, in small quantities, for me to rout etc to make my own profiles.

Up until now I've used obeche from Rose & Hollis, but can't find many people who can supply unmoulded lengths.

Also, has anyone had luck using other hardwoods for carving & gilding?

Thanks,

Graham

These are the people you require they will do most of the mouldings you want.

I agree with Ricky

Dont be put of by the fairly basic website, give them a call, they are very friendly and helpful they will make you virtually anything in any wood you like. even in fairly small quantities
