I know about that John but how many people other than those already interested in wood oriented things will see it? That's a question by the way not a criticism LOL. It is a great advert for the craft and shows what is being done with high quality work on display but I was thinking of something that is based in a high street, shopping arcade etc and is seen by Joe public. Judging by the comments I and probably others get from people at shows I get the feeling that there are a huge number of people who are unaware that there is anything like wooden art, craft etc in this country. The assumption as often as not is that it is something that has been bought in from abroad. Maybe I am just ignorant of what is available but as an example, a gallery in my local town that has genuine local crafts "doesn't like to stock 'wooden stuff' as it is not really proper art or craft is it."
As I said initially it is just a day dream that I have had in mind, probably impractical.
