Native Woodturning Blanks

07/10/2026

Hi all.

Apologies for the post, but due to Royal Mail increasing their postal charges, again, I'm afraid I've had to increase mine slightly, by a quid.

New charges are now:
Up to 2kg - £6.00
2 -10kg - £11.00
10 - 20kg - £16.00

All parcels are still sent tracked delivery.

Of course, if you are able, you're all welcome to call in anytime :-)

Cheers
Alan.

Apologies, but due to the amount of work and boxing up I have to do, to get ready for this years Oak Fair, I'm afraid I will be unable to process any orders from Thursday 20th August, until early September.
Hope to see a few of you there! :-)

So, only a month to go to the best show in the calendar!
I've been, and still am, busy prepping for this weekend :-)
Now my 6th year attending, and hoping to see a lot of you again :-)
Gone is my old 6m blue gazebo, you'll now find me in a new 8m x 4m white gazebo at the top of Oak Avenue, so plenty of room for browsing my stock, and keep an eye out for some beautiful Burr Elm this year, on top of my other vast array of goodies 😁
I cannot stress enough how fabulous this weekend is, something for everyone! August 29th and 30th in beautiful Dorset.

Currently unavailable by mobile phone, until maybe Monday, due to a buggered PCB apparently.
You can contact me on here, e-mail or by sending a raven. Smoke signals unlikely to be seen, tin cans and a bit of string if you're close enough.
