Early present :-)
« on: December 17, 2015, 09:47:19 AM »
I did my last craft exhibition of the year last weekend and while I was there a man offered me some bits of box wood he had cut from his garden. Not wishing to appear ungrateful I visited to collect the wood and was pleasantly surprised to be presented with a dozen 5' lengths!  ;D

I think I need a bigger woodstore! ;-)

Don't think Ihave ever seen boxwood that size. Must have been a very old shrub.
