Timber Sale

A super day was had by all at our Annual Timber Sale last Saturday. By 8.30am the car park was already filling up nicely.

Squeeze in - there's plenty of room for everyone!

With more than 500 "lots" to choose from - this year was our biggest sale event yet.

The calm before the storm

The woodturning demonstrations were as popular as ever, thanks to the West Riding Woodturners. We were also joined by representatives from Mafell, Fein and Festool who were on-hand to discuss any tooling matters. Thank you to them all for giving up their Saturday morning.

Happy customers looking for that perfect pack

Finally, a big thank you to everyone who attended the sale, we hope you enjoyed the event as much as we did. We still have some beautiful selected Yew boards and some timber selection packs available. If you're close enough to pay a visit you are welcome to call in for a browse, although we intend to have the boards uploaded to our online shop later in the week.

If you would like to be kept informed about any upcoming special offers and our sale events, please email us at marketing@britishhardwoods.co.uk

It's that time of year again! Now in its 8th year - our Annual December Timber Sale has become something of an event in the woodworking calendar. Held at our premises in Yorkshire, the sale starts at 9.30am, continuing throughout the morning. The timber, a mixture of rough sawn and planed, will be bundled into "lots" as usual - with plenty of bargains on offer.

Our Annual Timber Sale 2012 - all the wood lined up, ready and waiting

This year looks like it could be the biggest and best sale yet. Just this week we have taken delivery of two (yes two!) lorry loads of lovely timber for the event, and hope to have more lots available this year than ever before.

Happy customers browsing through the lots of timber (can you spot yourself?)

Following the success of last year, we hope to have representatives from Mafell, Fein and Festool with us on the day providing tooling demonstrations and advice. The woodturning demonstrations by the West Riding Woodturners have also become a regular (and popular) feature. Complimentary refreshments will be served throughout the morning.

The sale is open to everyone - hope to see you there!

Please note: As this special event occurs only one morning a year, the sales/office team will be tied up with the sale throughout the morning. Our usual flooring showroom will be unavailable that day, and customers wishing to collect orders will probably find it easier to call prior to 9.30am.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to all our valued customers who came to our Annual Timber Sale on Saturday. It was our busiest sale day yet, with some loyal customers travelling hundreds of miles just to attend the event.

Timber sorted into lots - before the sale

In previous years the timber has sold very quickly, and so this year we offered more lots to choose from.

Our car park filling up nicely!

The car park started filling up from about 8.45am and by 9.30am cars were parking wherever they could find a space.

Annual Timber Sale now in full swing

Because there were more lots to choose from there was a more leisurely pace this year, with customers taking time to browse and to select timber which would suit their needs perfectly.

The tooling demonstrations were a great hit, we intend to make this a regular feature of our timber sale. We extend a hearty thank you to the representatives from Fein, Festool, Mafell and Tongue Tite who provided their time and expertise for us on the day. Keep checking our website, we are constantly updating our tools and accessories. If there is something you require which is not listed, please contact us - we are always happy to help.

The tooling demonstrations were as popular as ever, thanks to the West Riding Woodturners group.

Thank you again to all our customers who made the day such a success, we hope you all had a safe journey home and were happy with your purchases.

A quick cup of tea before the journey home

For those who couldn't make it this year - don't worry, there is always next year to look forward to!
