Thank you Brian and Jimsky !!!!
Brian, I placed an order for Pear wood with Dave (Lumberyard) and I will contact Sergey too.
The Pear wood I have now is from ZHL. Nothing to regret, looks excellent. The issue is the distance and costs of shipping to have it in 10 days. Or you wait for a month or more with standard shipping.
Thanks again to both !!!

Lumberyard are selling Pearwood and also American Boxwood (or Costelo, Costello, Honduras Boxwood etc.) which is very different from the European Boxwood). They supply strips not only of these two types but lots of others as well.

I couldn't find dose names at the Lumberyard.... so I ordered wha they have under the name: West Indian Boxwood...
Yes, that name is right. Dave said at some stage that there are about 160 different species (and names) of American Boxwood, and the West Indian is one of them. In my opinion American Boxwood is second after European Boxwood and then comes Pear. Unfortunately there are big problems with the European BW, a thorough infection in the main growing area. Some say that this is the end of European Boxwood as we know it.

I’ve heard there are quality problems with wood purchased from the lumberyard, though admittedly I haven’t purchased any myself.
That must be coming from some defamation group of people ,look at at my Ontario build in my signature area,all the wood came from the Lumberyard,or look at Donnie’s Blandford cross section build ,wood from the Lumberyard,do not believe all the Bs you read online,there are countless people on this forum using Lumberyard wood
I have only heard excellent comments from the Lumberyard.
Unfortunately I had to cancel my order with them. They had a lot of work and I was in a hurry. Then I got some pear wood from Cook Woods and did my own cuts as needed.
Again, I never ever heard anything bad about the Lumberyard.
Best

How do we reach him?
Dave is the timber supplier for many SOS members including myself. He has a wide range of wood and offers a variety of species in different cuts like billets so you can resaw on your on, or ready to use strips. Not sure where did you hear that information, but Dave timber is of very good quality, Do not spread gossips...
He is a member of our forum @bibigon (Sergey).

Wasn’t gossip or any defamation group whatever that is. It came from a friend with first hand experience. I asked a question and raised a concern, that’s ok to do isn it?
