Timber Merchant
Hi all,
I am looking to make better use of all the time I now have, and would like to renew my interest in woodworking.
I have the space to set up a decent sized workshop, but need to be able to purchase rough sawed wood of various kinds.
Is there such a thing as a timber merchant in Italy?
Also - long shot - I need a decent supplier of hand tools. I am looking at what is available used, in our bi-weekly market, the local bricos are useless - they all stock the same poor quality made in china stuff. Leroy Merlin has some reasonable bits, going next week for a browse.

Bricoman for tools - they have stuff for professionals.
For wood - depends where you are.

Re: Timber Merchant
Amazon UK have a good selection of tools and the prices are very competitive. A trip around a local industrial estate should turn up a wood supplier.

Re: Timber Merchant
No idea on the quality of the tools, but Screwfix.eu will deliver here for free if over a certain amount spent (was £100 when I used it, but have seen it at £50).
