@darrenking No I don’t have the equipment to resaw that mahogany window sill, my bandsaw isn’t big enough. I’ll sort something out.
And..... If there are any other Blackpool based members here on the forum, the above comment does not apply. 🤣
@e-den-hertog Thanks, I will visit your country one day. I understand your feelings about Amsterdam, I feel the same way about Blackpool.
