This is a Web Site that I find interesting and useful. Particularly since some traditional wood has become scarce and difficult to source, resulting in new replacement ones are popping up. I spent a lot of my childhood knee deep in shavings in my grandfather's workshop, whilst he told me about they joys of Guinea Greenheart and Burmese Teak, so I am perhaps slightly more obsessed by wood than most
