The recent presentation on timber-frame construction and restoration by Daniel Addey-Jibb and Murray Elliott of Hamlet Heavy Timberwork was a resounding success. Sixty people turned out. In addition to a digital slide show, Daniel and Murray set up a demonstration area outdoors where people could try their hand at making wooden pegs. Members of the Rhicard family of Stanbridge East were on hand, and Dianne Rhicard kindly gave us permission to display a couple of the pictures she snapped. Above are presenters Murray Elliott (left) and Daniel Addey-Jibb. Below is John Rhicard.

Dans le cadre de l’exposition de Noël du Studio Georgeville, l’ébéniste  Niels Jensen a confectionné des planches à découper en bois de bout de différents styles. Ces merveilleuses planches ont tellement été prisées que Studio Georgeville les vendra dorénavant de façon permanente.

 For Studio Georgeville's Christmas exhibition, cabinetmaker Niels Jensen built end-grain cutting boards in various designs. These proved so popular that Studio Georgeville decided to sell the beautiful boards on an ongoing basis.
