Thanks Bob - that's really helpful. :)

Hey Guys, I wonder if you could help please. I normally make furniture from green railway sleepers, and I'm out of my area on this one. I've a potential commission for a large cross for a church, solid piece of wood if possible, around 8 foot high and arms length wide. The piece needs to be...
