John boddy timber in Yorkshire
« on: August 10, 2015, 04:39:05 PM »
I am away in Scotland at the moment and was intending to call in to John boddy on my way home on Thursday. I have tried phoning them on a number of phone numbers but cannot get any ring tone with them. Any one know if they are still in business and where they are now? I did understand that they were moving earlier this year. Thanks. Malcolm.

I agree with Philip...my local sawmills bought a lot of stock and all their timber samples.

Education is important, but wood turning is importanter.

Hi Malcolm,
               I think they are still going strong but they were moving early in 2015 To 2&3 Gatherley Road,Brompton on Swale, Richmond,DL10 7JH

          I hope this may be of some help. Regards John

 PS Failing that try G&S Timber Penrith CA110ES I am told they are very good for Timber and all other Woodturning supplies

HI

John Boddy was bought out by Associated Timber Services last year and earlier this year ATS was taken into receivership and is no longer trading.

Cheers Dave

Just for your information, I re routed my journey home and called in to G&S Specialist Timber and Ockeneden Timber. Both had really good quality turning blanks as well as a range of accessories. Very pleased with the wood I bought. Now into the workshop and start turning. Thanks for your comments in saving me a wasted detour to John Boddy. Malcolm.
