comments: Good website, easy to navigate, well done. Personally I would set the links to other sites to open in a separate window, this is so that people do not navigate away from your site! If you look at the links page on my site you will see what I mean. Just a thought....Thank you for the comment and noted.
Anyway can you help me. I am coming down to Cornwall (Padstow) on holiday in a couple of weeks and I was wondering if you know of any timber suppliers in Cornwall that supply turning blanks. I used to go to Tregothnan but they have informed me that they no longer do woodturning blanks :
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Martin
