Hi can anybody help please.

We are looking for some wood we can use to frame pictures.

The type that is flat underneath, and about 2 inches wide, with detail on the top?

The sort of stuff you can find in every diy store in the Uk, in about 6 ft lengths.

Cant find any here.

Dont know if Iv explained myself very well, but I hope I have

Does anybody know where I can buy some here?

Thanks

I don't think you'd be able to walk into a D.I.Y. store and find that here.Perhaps if you are to get your own timber(what you want) and find a local carpenter who'd have the machinery to do it for you.

if you walk down the main st, take the first on the left..keep going ,roughly half way along it is on the left hand side..sorry i cant be more precise, but it is there, have had photos framed there recently.

Jake could I expand on Jocks directions, it's 3/4 the way up on the left and it's more of a little workshop than a shop, no sign or traditional shop window as such, I think there was a home made notice in the window offering cut glass and picture frames. Very good workmanship though and I thought very reasonable prices.

Yes..its along past the bar on the left hand side of the st. As msg 7 stated there is no name on the shop, it does look like it is a work shop...

Hi Jake,

there is Arty Art Gallery from whom I have bought some paintings. They also do framework - hence I do not know if it would fit exactly your expectations. I was quite happy with it. May be you would like to have a look. I do not have their tel. at the moment but when you take the road from Girne to Bellapais, the shop is on the left side before you come to the traffic lights (where you would have to turn right to Bellapais road).
