“The 100 mm thick piece was a ,..hard and brittle and certainly not soft lime wood as described... case worse than not good.lime wood. Description on website....Is one of the easiest woods to work with when carving. Lime wood rarely warps. This make it suitable for small and large pieces for either carving or whittling. Despite being a hardwood. It takes in details as it is soft and crisp too carve. Sorry but. What a letdown Someone should carve a piece and they will see what I mean”

Good afternoon, Thank you for your review, After looking at the images you sent to us earlier this afternoon we confirmed the piece you had received was Lime, we don't sell any alternatives to Lime and all our Lime is imported from Italy. We are sorry you are not happy with the piece you have received. Kind regards G&S

“The tulip wood was delivered safely and packed well with no damage. It carves easily. The current consignment was square blocks to be used as mini pedestals for small clay sculptures and I can see they will look good once they are surface treated.”

“Quick delivery and a great range of product. (20mm dowels would be a great addition to the range offered.) I ordered a range of dowels all of which are as described and good quality. As I ordered some that are similar, visually, and my timber identification skills are a little rusty, it would have been great if each species had been better identified.”
