Every time I pick up the magazine I go green with envy not only because of the quality of the work, but also the choice and beauty of the timbers available to you over on that side of the world, not to mention the aircraft hangers that some of you have for workshops.

Here in England most of us make do working in shops the size of shoe boxes by comparison. Taking on a small mortgage to buy exotic (plain) oak (European not English) that has been growing for all of ten minutes. Working hours in sub-zero temperatures on a project, that when finished, bursting with pride you present to your wife, who lovingly and all so gently places it in the fire where it belongs.

I’ll just keep reading and dreaming.
