You don&#8217;t know where to go, how it works, what the rules are. It&#8217;s so easy to simple avoid the whole process altogether in favour of using easily accessible materials purchased from your local DIY merchant.<\/p>\n<p>This series aims to prevent that intimidation and allow you to be prepared when visiting a sawmill or timber supplier for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we are at a small sawmill just outside of Oxford, UK where timber is converted, dried, and sold on site by Blaise and his team. They specialise mainly in sourcing local timber in an effort to save it from being burnt for fuel or chipped. The selection here is incredible and I can&#8217;t wait for you to see what&#8217;s inside.<br \/>\n______________________________________________________________________________________________<br \/>\nView Blaise&#8217;s Website Here:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blaiseintrees.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/blaiseintrees.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also see his YouTube Channel Here:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCkVYYYKRYqjRDLjms_f_Eqg\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCkVY&#8230;<\/a><br \/>\n______________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>Support what I do by becoming a Patron!
