This was the perfect lockdown project and is on-going. The green oak arrived on 12/10/20 and work started on 15/10/20. All working days were documented in this blog and comments are open so please ask any questions, or offer advice in the comments box at the end of each page or blog post. Comments are moderated so if you don’t want your comment published for everyone to see, please say so.
