Customer Question
|
I'm an artist and I'm wanting to sculpt a head out of wood. I'm wondering whether Rickman's might be able to inform me as to what would be the most appropriate wood to use to sculpt, and where I' m able to purchase such wood.
|
|
Rickmans Advice
|
We are not in the business of supplying or advising on projects of this nature. You would be better to approach an experienced sculptor.

Customer Question
|
I would like to cover the outside of a concrete house with timber. What kind of timber would you recommend?
|
|
Rickmans Advice
|
It would need to be any timber treated appropriately, H3 generally suits most outside situations. Painted pine should be a suitable timber for this application.
