About The Wood Room

The Timber Shop for Woodworkers

The Wood Room is an independent UK timber merchant specialising in quality hardwood timber, woodturning blanks and maker materials for woodworkers of all experience levels.

Whether you're building a dining table, turning your first pen, making a guitar, crafting a knife handle or working on a weekend DIY project, we believe finding the right timber should be straightforward. That's why we focus on practical sizes, carefully selected materials and friendly advice when you need it.

Built Around the Needs of Woodworkers

The Wood Room was created to bridge the gap between large commercial timber merchants and hobby retailers.

Many timber suppliers concentrate on bulk trade orders, while many woodworking shops focus mainly on tools and accessories. We wanted to create a place where makers could find quality hardwood timber and specialist materials in sensible quantities, backed by genuine workshop knowledge.

Our aim is simple: offer quality materials, fair pricing and helpful service to woodworkers across the UK.

More Than Just Timber

While hardwood timber remains at the heart of what we do, The Wood Room is continually growing to support a wider range of woodworking projects.

Alongside hardwood boards, you'll find a growing selection of:

  • Woodturning blanks
  • Pen blanks
  • Bowl blanks
  • Spindle blanks
  • Knife scales
  • Veneers
  • Guitar and tonewoods
  • Cue making materials
  • Laser cutting materials
  • Project kits and maker supplies

Whether you're making furniture, restoring a classic piece, building musical instruments or experimenting with resin casting, we're working to make The Wood Room a place where makers can find everything they need for their next project.

Carefully Selected Materials

Every timber species we stock is chosen for its quality, character and suitability for woodworking.

From familiar favourites like Oak, Ash and Walnut to distinctive species such as Padauk, Purpleheart and Zebrano, we aim to offer materials that are enjoyable to work with and suitable for a wide variety of projects.

We regularly expand our range with new species, sizes and products, giving customers more choice as their skills and projects develop.
