I’m going to add some oak to my list I think
Would love to order this for next week. Is that do-able ?
I might want to get some sapele. I’ll work out what I need.
Yes, please! I’m copying Howard and wanting Sapele
Time to make an editable list perhaps so we can place an order?
Does anyone have a club account with them?
dimensions and prices are here

Is resawing wood on the band saw a particually stupid thing to be doing at the space? I’m trying to economise on my order…
Nope, use the fence and one of the wider blades and it should be fine. Resaw capacity is probably ~8" though.
Excellent! Thanks
Where can I buy wood for shelves? SLMS sells it now right? How much does it cost? I’m taking measurements this morning. Also, is there a thread for requests? Might be useful to have one!

nope that’s what its for!
We don’t sell wood yet, although there is a laser ply stocking system in the works, but not solid wood
This thread is about ordering it through sl hardwoods to save on delivery. We still need to figure out how we are going to group buy but putting the money into a common pot and then centralising the order would make sense (can SLMS accounting allow for the space to receive money to make the purchase on our behalf?)
If you want to order for shelves you have two options:
-buy PAR (planed all around). Your shelves are ready to be finished and used.
-buy a board or share a board, and cut it and plane it yourself (I don’t think you’d have much trouble getting help for this). This option is much cheaper. There is a price grid on the link I posted earlier if you pick a wood type. You need to buy extra to allow for planing and defects (best is to go there and choose your board)
Okay I’ll work it all out! That’s helpful info thanks, I had the wood induction and do plan to do it all myself. It’s not just shelves I need but a proper shelving unit. I’ll check the link thanks!
I was just going to collect up the cash and do it personally 
@hannahintech if there’s anything from this list (or site): https://www.slhardwoods.co.uk/products/solid-timber/sawn-boards you want, there’ll be an order put in in the next day or so.
see this post for a shopping list:

Yes but I didn’t take the measurements yet!
Can someone help me out since its short notice? I just want basic wood (ie cheap but durable!) to handle some weight but not masses, it’s for my allotment shed. It will be max 2.5 metres by 1metre but I haven’t take measurements yet. I don’t mind a little extra wood I can use for something else.
Buy a sheet of 18mm plywood? It’s cheap, strong and comes in approx 2.4m*1.2m
