If it is for hives, the problem is getting pieces big enough.

Just want to make some Eke's to convert some nationals to 14 x 12.

Just bought some WRC from Duffields Timber at Melmerby near Ripon in North Yorkshire just off the A1.

They had plenty of sizes big enough for all hive boards.

Cost on collection. Was £ 28.00 per cubic foot.

Hope this helps.

Another way to get cheaper timber is wait until the local supplier has got to the end of the new stock of PSE planking and you will often find with the modern kiln dried wood today, lots with cracks and twists which get rejected by the punters.
I bought 25 meter of 200mm by 20mm the other day for a fiver and made all my hive frames and other things from if.

If you get to know the chaps well enough they will normally keep it for you for their tea fund etc.

Good for woodburners as well,along with some less dry stuff.
