Wow, @RobP,

Just Wow!,

There are some very nice pieces in this collection, thank you for sharing them.

The best thing about them is that they use upcycled/recycled timber, trying to find new timber of any size is getting harder and harder to get these days.

I'm glad that the people who have found this timber, have used it to an astonishing result.

Well done, one and all!

Cheers,

Mike T.
