Actually I have to say, Sam, that while I would have agreed with you a couple of years ago my recent experiences with Craft Supplies have been less than satisfactory.
They haven't been quick, they've sent the wrong stuff not once but twice on the same order and even when they finally sent the right stuff they sent the wrong quantity. I think it's worth getting wood there if you go for it but I've found that much of what they show in the catalogue is out of stock and they have stuff in the warehouse that they don't advertise.

You should try some of Zootman's wood!LouisianaGrey38913.3906018519

[QUOTE=Sam Price] Craft Supplies in the UK are fantastically quick and their wood is exquisite. [/QUOTE]

Definitely wouldn't be my first choice. Timberline, Touchstone and David Dyke are all much superior. Russell and I have both been buying from Madinter in Spain recently and have received very nice stuff at a very good price from them, and as EU country you pay their VAT not ours. I have also recently had wood directly or through Russell, from the Zootman, Brad Goodman, Shane Neifer, Luigi, Hank Mauel. All great guys and wonderful wood.

The only thing I would get from Craft Supplies is their two sided phenolic resin sanding dishes, but then I make my own, I'm not a fan of kiln dried wood.
