We start today with a much needed top up of tree ring slices (including oak, yew, whitebeam, laburnum and buckthorn), a trolly load of hardwood strips (including tulipwood, utile, black walnut and elm) and the silkiest smooth slice of pippy yew we've ever had the pleasure of getting our hands on.
As usual I haven't got time to measure everything, but do call up if you want to check approximate sizes before you visit. 01235861228 is the number to dial.
