We're in a season of giving, but unfortunately that often means we are buying things that will end up in the bin or broken within a few years...

With so many items made from solid timber in our homes, often with that timber being hundreds of years old, is this the season to give something old a new lease of life? Restore, repair or up-cycle something and take a step out of the consumer vortex!

Let me know if I can help - solid timber repairer/restorer here :)
