John - drag your rocker over to this end of the porch, =
where we look out onto the garden of England (Vale =
of Evesham) - must be, Oh, hundreds of orchards =
around heah. And just up the road in any
direction is a farm shop with local cider. Yum!
But the FAQ (Interesting read, Paddy) says to stay on
topic, so I'll tell you about my attempt to find a source
of apple wood. I came really close a week ago when I =
pulled up at a butcher, and checked his pile of logs for =
sale. The son who runs the logs sideline was out, but =
there was a good lump of ash, and I was promised a call
because he thought he was bringing apple wood on the next
load. I was explaining how good saw handles were made
of fruitwood to try and reinforce the need *not* to =
make firewood of it. =
When I have some, it's going to become a wooden router
or two, with end fences/stops for trimming tenons to
width. Design will eventually appear on my eventual
web page.
