G&S Specialist Timber

ordered quite a few times off G&S over the years. Never bothered with a review, but the last shipment, some redwood dowels, well deserves a positive review. Wood was well packed, shipped quickly and was, as always, absolutely beautifully machined and finished. I've never been disappointed by these folks, I bet you won't be either.

Great company to buy from. Very fine quality oak supplied, cut exactly as specified plus Dowels of good quality, straight enough, and well finished. Prices good, well packed, and delivered within the time frame quoted.

Excellent service the product are very good as well. I have only bought dowel from them but the sizes are spot on and the finish is superb highly recommend this firm

I've been buying dowels from G&S for years and have always been impressed with how fast deliveries arrive, even when I need them shipped to France where we often are working. Excellent consistent quality and sizing. Keep up the good work :-) Pictures show sapele dowels used on the instruments we make.

First time ordering, very pleased with my purchase, Tulip Wood Dowel. Superb all round service. Such good value, high quality product and finish. Excellent communication, from purchase through to delivery, well packaged.Thank you. Highly recommend.

Very good supplier for specialist timber/wood and have a selection of offcuts. Plus a good selection of tools, wood finishes and accessories for wood carving/turning. Do have some finished products for sale as well. Staff friendly and helpful.If your into woodworking, would recommend. Will be returning.

Brilliant customer service. I've used G&S several times now and only once was there a problem (not G&S's fault at all). However, they still responded quickly and resolved the issue completely.I will definitely be using G&S again in the future.

I placed an order on the 26th July for dowels which I am still waiting to receive. Upon contacting G&s it seems my parcel was sent to the wrong address and I was reassured that they would contact the courier and get back to me on Monday. However, nobody made any attempt to contact me and instead I had to chase them for an update on my order. Not very happy with their response. I was told that they are waiting for the courier to get back to them. This isn't good enough. How long do I have to wait to receive my order, its already been a week. As a company they are not doing anyting to ensure I receive my order as a matter of urgency.G&s are ineffective, inefficient and lack sense of urgency. First and last time I will be using them.

Ordered some Pfeil carving tools, had some initial issues with the order due to supply (this was outside of G&S control).The key point was G&S did everything they could to try and assist in a situation that they where put in by suppliers. In the end we changed my order to items they had in stock and these where shipped and delivered within a day.The customer service of everyone I dealt with was great and they did everything they could to make sure I was happy.I could not recommend them enough.
