Those without marked prices will be going out into the shop after our lunch break, but we thought you might like to see some of what'll be here to tempt you later on.
The longest plank here is over 4.3m, and the majority are 45-55cm in width. A mix of Ash and Oak, some is going through the planer but the rest remain rough sawn.
