BBC4 on right now - The genius of British woodwork

[Sawdust=manglitter]

The other half was flicking channels while I was browsing the forum and I heard this pop on the TV. “Carved with love: the genius of British woodwork”
On right now, pretty interesting (10pm on Wed 28th March)

Some incredible carving work by Gibbon, which i would never have even heard about if it wasnt for stumbling upon this program. Very interesting!
Gutted to say that i missed last weeks program about Chippendale. Will be keeping an eye out for next weeks final instalment. Is there a way to watch last weeks episode?

Sad that he ended up so poor mainly because of delayed (10 years in one case) payments for his incredible work. Genius craftsman but not so good at business.

Theres an exhibition of his work at York, I was hoping to get to it

amazingly there's a carving of his in stockport, in a bank that is a listed building, I tried recently to get them to show me, and it didn't go down well, they said that hardly anyone knows it exsists, let alone asks to see it, to me this is a discrace, it should be seen by the public, apparently it's an amazing hand carved fireplace, and he mustn't have done that many of them.
