T'was me Dave, thanks for the link. I'm resigned to sourcing it from the UK now. The prices and availabilty are not tenable here, same goes for Tung oil.

Hi Chris,

I get some (not all) of oils etc direct from Rustins, as they stock most items. There is a good (retail) price list on the web site for comparison.

I guess, like me, you have spent years in the uk sourcing trade suppliers, both for range and price, and I think that this will be one of the difficulties initially in France, combined with an inadequate grasp of the language. I intend to spend some time visiting the industrial areas in Limoges (with a good French speaking friend) to find some trade suppliers, hopefully in time, I can build up a directory that can be shared around the "English" artisans.

Fortunately, suppliers like Hafele and Hittech have French divisions, so architectural ironmongery and fittings shouldn't be a problem.

Excellent link, thanks Brian. Danish, Tung and finishing oils all reasonably priced.
