Blaise in Trees | Buying Hardwood Lumber #2
Visiting a timber merchant can be a very unnerving experience. You don't know where to go, how it works, what the rules are. It's so easy to simple avoid the whole process altogether in favour of using easily accessible materials purchased from your local DIY merchant.
This series aims to prevent that intimidation and allow you to be prepared when visiting a sawmill or timber supplier for the first time.
Today, we are at a small sawmill just outside of Oxford, UK where timber is converted, dried, and sold on site by Blaise and his team. They specialise mainly in sourcing local timber in an effort to save it from being burnt for fuel or chipped. The selection here is incredible and I can't wait for you to see what's inside.

🕵️♂️ WHO AM I?:
My name is Matt Estlea and I’m a Woodworker from Basingstoke, England. My aim is to make your woodworking less s***.
I come from 5 years of TRAINING at Rycotewood Furniture Centre in Oxford, 5 years of experience WORKING at Axminster Tools and Machinery in Basingstoke, and 3 years TEACHING both day classes and evening classes at Rycotewood Furniture Centre. All while trying to get this YouTube thing off the ground.
By September 2021, I packed it all in to focus on YouTube and my business full-time.
Want to know more about how I crammed all this experience into such a short period of time? See my experience and qualifications here:
