Lime Wood

Doing a small commission for the local cathedral, need a small amount of light coloured wood that will take a bit of detail and know this lime will be perfect when planned up.


 When I got it months ago the saw mill told be it grew on the cathedral grounds, cut down 20 years ago.

I like that it's come full circle even if it is only going to be a tiny bit used.

  5. I've been reading Bernard Cornwell's Saxon series, and in it he mentions limewood. I had no idea what it was! Such a treat to see some, and to see it in use today.
