Making Cubiko - Step 2. I get my Sapele from a merchant in Park Royal, London. It's on the way to my sons school so when I need a piece I'll pop in during the school run. The merchants deliver for free but, as I only buy 1 length at a time, I have to get the piece out from the pile myself. Getting to the right piece of 3 metre from a huge pile isn't rocket science, just hard work. A day or 2 later the wood arrives and I must immediately cut it down to 246mm 'Cubiko size' pieces 246mm , 3m is far too long to have hanging around!
