Since it is Easter you get a double blog post today!

Carpenter Oak is manufacturing the green oak frame in Devon. I decided to visit their workshops in the beautiful Devon countryside to see my frame being made.

I have seen the frame drawings and plans for many months but nothing prepared me for the scale and beauty of the frame. I am not easily impressed but the frame exceeded all my expectations.

A big thank you to The Carpenter Oak Team for making me so welcome and showing me round the framing yard.

Pictures I think are the best way I can share this with you. I hope you like them.
