Obtaining Hardwood interior T & G ?

Hi, been a while :-) I'm looking for some decent hardwood Oak/Ash/Maple etc hardwood T&G for the interior of my boat - its harder than I ever imagined to source so does anyone have any contacts?

 

Thanks

It is very hard to find these days. However, a good hardwood stockist with a mill, should be prepared to mill some up for you, that way you can specify size etc. Just one bit of advice, don't ask for T&G unless that is what you actuallty want. If you want the edges of the presenting face to be chamfered, ask for Matchboard. T&G is a generic term and usually applied to floorboarding.

Fitchett and Woolacott are hardwood suppliers in your area, I think, somewhere in Nottingham I think.

 

Good luck!

http://www.britishhardwoods.co.uk machined some oak to my requirements a few years ago. Worth giving them a call if you want something not on their standard list.

British hardwoods have supplied a lot of the oak in kingfisher, however they just charged me 80 quid for a glorified chopping board so that's the end of a lovely relationship!

But they still have their own website.
