It will come about,
But only if we get organised and cooperate.
The various market forces are looking favourable.
It's being able to put a proposal forward to offer a level playing field for producers, combined with a viable business plan for manufacturers and media exposure.
There's a long list of organisations who would have to be involved in a process like this.
It would take years.
But what a difference it could make.

Rustic bench. Compared with some of the fantastic works I'm seeing on this thread, my skills need a bit of work! However, all that said, it is a good beer bench20190624_213547.jpeg

A dining table made out of London Plane that I finished today - for myself! I milled this tree a couple of years ago for Jo at Hardy Tree Surgeons and he kindly let me keep a few of the quartersawn boards I had cut.

The rails of the frame are held together with a haunched mortise and tenon on the long sides and with festool domino connectors on the short sides so it can be disassembled for storage/transportation.

The top is made from quartersawn boards for stability and also to show off the "lacewood" grain patterns. It's held to the base with table buttons which allow for seasonal movement but also hold it down tight.

The grain might not be to everyone's taste but I think it's quite memorising and makes a change from looking at Oak.IMG_20190827_175734_208.jpegIMG_20190827_175734_210.jpegScreenshot_20190827_183639.jpegScreenshot_20190827_183608.jpegIMG_20190827_175734_213.jpegIMG_20190827_175734_230.jpeg
