I have just got back ( wife drives slow ). It was a good day. I brought a sack of bowl blanks that was a really good mix of woods and sizes, A few extra bowl blanks in cherry and hawthorn, Spindles in elm and beec, A big old oak platter blank of about 15 inches, a couple of big spindles about 4 and 5 inches square by 2 and 3 feet long in maple and apple...... a boot full for £120 and then a sack full of blanks and logs which he describes as rubbish and I call great practice blanks for free.

I got the impression though that it wasn't very well attended which was a shame.

It looks like you had a good day Graham, I told you that you would not be disappointed I have had loads of timber of them and never had a problem with any of it.

I wish I could have got down there but as previously stayed the wife has been really ill and the journey would have been too much for her.

Hopefully we should be able to get down to my sons on the Isle of Sheppey latter in the year and I will have ride over to stock up.

Location, location, location.
A bit of a daft idea to have the open day on Sunday too, no chance to roll it into a trip to other similar destinations locally like Style & Bates or FFX.

Business wise it may be a bad location but if you have to work for a living then half a mile from a working harbour with life boat station and loads to look at and enjoy aint a bad place to be doing it

You did indeed Vic
They seem like very nice people and the father certainly knows what to do when you put a lathe and chunk of wood in front of him.he had a display of his work on the table and it was impressive to say the least.

 

[Dalboy]

Maybe I should have gone I have no excuse as I don't live that far away. Looks like you all had some bargains

Give Paul a ring Dalboy, they will be more than pleased to see you and I guarantee that you will come away with a load of bargains

don't forget chaps that the forum rules don't allow "commercial activity" directly through the site other than domestic item sales through the for sales section. They obviously sound like a good team, just avoid setting the wrong expectation is all I'm thinking.
