What's inside

What the newsletter covers

  • New listings

    Fresh directory profiles and marketplace lots worth seeing.

  • Guides & species

    Pointers from the knowledge base — movement, moisture, buying, and workshop notes.

  • Featured merchant

    Spotlight on one independent UK timber business each issue.

  • Timber snapshot

    A short read on market flavour: species in demand, grading tips, or planning seasonality.

  • Editorial

    Essays and features from Mill & Merchant — craft, supply chains, and forests.

Frequency

We publish every two weeks (fortnightly). Quiet weeks on the site still get a tight, useful read — no filler.

Sample flavour

What an issue might feel like

  • "This week on the marketplace: air-dried oak boards, structural larch, waney-edge specials."
  • Guide drop: moisture content for interior joinery — the numbers that actually matter.
  • Featured merchant: a West Country sawmill specialising in character grade.
