I know that I would love the smell in this establishment. My father and grandfather came from a long line of shipwrights and both spent hours in their workshops making all sorts of items from wood so I grew up with the smell of freshly sawn timber and varnishes, wonderful memories which you have revived for me with this fascinating account. Thank you.

Amazing story about an early idea to fill a market gap in fine craft. — But HOW do they manage the square wood turning???

Love & Peace

Good to see that some craftsmen are still making their beautiful things. Valerie

Good to know there’s another one around.
I should explain: there’s a similar, but much smaller establishment in Milton Rd, Walthamstow. ( I think they were previously in High Street )
