Timber Supply

admin — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 07:42:15 +0000

It seems the supply of timber is being outstripped by demand. Homegrown sawmills simply cannot cope and are unable to accept any new business and therefore the stocks from Europe are rising sharply in price. We are currently negotiating with our importers to secure large stocks of our standard product now to try and minimize the increase. Please check price and availability when ordering – we will maintain our current rates for as long as possible !
