Hexhamshire Hardwoods as a potential local supplier for me, of exotic
hardwoods for toy making. I have just been down to their workshop / shop in the middle of the countryside and it is Aladdin's Cave. Equipment to die for and so many hardwoods that you don't know where to turn. They feature on eBay but if you're in the area (just south of Hexham, Northumberland) they are worth a personal visit. If, like me, you are interested in toy making, then their off cuts are just what you need. It's not the easiest place to find. If you look at a map of Whitley Chapel, go 1/4 mile West from the central X road (the chapel's on the X Road). The 'main' road bends to the right and there's a turning to the left, marked 'No Through Road.' Go down it. 2nd on the left just over 1/4 mile down. |

I haven't been to Hexhamshire Hardwoods for a long time, but unless it's very close to you I wouldn't bother - they're very hard to contact by phone and their opening times are somewhat erratic. They're based a long way from anywhere and have been known to close on the spur of the moment even when they've told customers that they'll be open. |

Have had the same experience with Hexhamshire Hardwoods as Duncan mentioned - used to be a great place;owner now semi-retired,so although the shop is still open (part-time),don't set off without ringing first because they might be shut |

Sept.23,2008 | I've just got back from Hexhamshire Hardwoods
and they are still going strong, still got some great species and giving
good service and advise. I asked about the owner being semi-retired, which is correct, but he's still carrying on trading now and I understand he's getting his son more involved. |
