Every year the Berkshire Woodturners Association hold an auction to raise funds for the club.

An important part of the auction wood for the club members to stock up with for their wood turning projects through the year.

Each year Trees2Timber helps the club by acquiring different tree species and mills them to make different sized turning blanks.

Volunteers from the club help with the milling, and preparing the blanks.

This year we provided beech, apple, aspen, sycamore, scots pine and oak. A good range of native British species all well suited to woodturning.

The auction raised over £500 and the wood contributed £200.

We have completed the commission from Holyport Primary School for a storyteller circle. The centre piece is a story tellers chair made in a fairy tale style from sweet chestnut slabs and stripped oak branches. The children will sit and thirty oak logs, no doubt entralled with the story they are being read.
