worktops are here safe and sound (they were very well packed) and they are beautiful! 
Exactly as hoped for. Great service at a very reasonable price.
The website was easy to navigate and having an instant quote was ideal.
Thanks
Sally
p.s. I'm about to order another couple of shelves and some oil.

Muhuhu- an aromatic wood with a spicy scent

Image
We have a new timber called Muhuhu ( Brachylaena hutchinsii if you're interested! ) We have it in blanks for wood turning at a bargain price- see the page  here for Muhuhu bowl blanks. Muhuhu heartwood is a darker chestnut brown, often with dark streaks and a green tinge. The grain is closely interlocked sometimes wavy or curly, with a fine even texture. The sapwood is quite distinct, being grey-white. This is an aromatic wood, with a spicy scent similar to sandal wood.  A fine finish is achievable with most tools. It sands well and is receptive to both surface and penetrative finishes.  This photo below is of a bowl turned from Muhuhu wood.

Hello, Some months ago you supplied me with two lengths of American black walnut which I have used to make a wooden steering wheel rim for my 1974 MGB. These photos show some stages in the construction. As you  can see the first step was to make two hexagons and then to machine them into circles using a router. I made a jig for the router which allowed it to turn and also to be lifted on and off the work. The wheel was made by making two identical circles between which the metal rim of the wheel was sandwiched, having cut a slot in each half for this in advance. ( I bought a second hand wheel on eBay for this project and stripped off the original rubber and plastic rim). The trickiest bit was to machine the 'shoulders' which shroud the ends of the spokes. As you know one slip with a router and hours of work can be ruined. The finger grooves at the back of the wheel were also done with the router, this time adapted to run in and out from the centre to the rim....
