wood dealers in Europe
Hello
Step by step, I prepare myself to make my first oud, that's why I want to have feedback from members who buy wood in Europe, (preferably in France
but not necessary).
I find several dealers on the web
http://www.octopus.com.tr/store/?page=products
http://www.akustikwood.com/indexen.htm
http://www.luthimate.fr/boisguitareacoustique-c-60_1055.html
http://www.bois-lutherie.com/tarifs.html#table
http://www.boisbuis.com/
http://www.essarbois.com/sciage-plamier-scie-bois/
the last one is 60 km far from me, I think I'll go and see.
see you soon
Mohamed

Greetings Mohammed
I've had a look at octopus woods but not ordered from them. The maple ribs set of 13 700x45x3mm looks like a good price- dependent on shipping of
course. I guess however that its best if you can choose the woods yourself so 60 km down the road might be a safer bet. I might try a small purchase
of a few ribs first just to test the quality and service.
Best Regards
Kelly

Thank you all for your replies.
@Kelly : make a feedback here if you decide to try Octopus. Follow this link for suppliers in UK http://www.mikeouds.com/messageboard/viewthread.php?tid=6947#pid424...
@Tarbool59 : merci, an other one to compare with, it seems great.
