Sycamore required
« on: March 22, 2013, 01:40:30 PM »
I have a commission that requires a sycamore blank (ideally 2) at least 18" in diameter with a depth of around 3" or 4" (or suitable board). They need to be very clean (less figuring the better, plain as possible). I am having trouble sourcing them in the South East.  Willing to buy from further afield if assured OK.  Can anybody help?

Many thanks
