Why Hobbymill
Not a general hardwood merchant. A workshop that mills uncommon species into the sizes makers actually need.
Milled to ±0.10 mm
Sheets and strips held to ±0.10 mm (±0.20 mm for square strips), so planking lays flat, laser cuts come out clean and turning blanks chuck up true first time.
Rare species, maker sizes
Swiss pear, Castello boxwood, black hornbeam, Alaskan yellow cedar and maple — sold by the sheet, strip or blank. No full commercial board, no minimum order, no quotation needed to buy.
Tracked worldwide shipping
Milled and shipped from Rapla, Estonia via Omniva. EU, UK, US, Canada and beyond — with tracking on every parcel, for professionals and hobbyists alike.
