• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Been buying wood again.

I keep a close watch on FBMP for this and that, including timber. If it's a county-ish away, Mission Control and myself treat it as a day out.

Look what I managed to buy last week.

Bog Oak (Quercus Latrinus ;)) I sliced a millimetre veneer and it turned out like this.

That'll make some nice highlights on instruments.


I also acquired some of this.

London Plane, from a tree felled in Bushy Park, I'm told.

This will make some nice instrument necks and maybe even some backs and sides for Soprano Ukulele.

Looking forward to getting back into working with wood when I've finished spraying and completing construction of the seven heirloom instruments.
