Yesterday at Berwick St. John Country Fayre
 
Mum (Julie) took the first Christmas tree order of 2015 to be collected first thing Monday morning (15th September).
 
 
Ok ok it's going to be used in a photo shoot, but still quite impressive!

 
 
Also a big thank you to everyone who visited the trade stand at the weekend, a great time was had by all and we shall look forward to doing it again in 2016.

A walk around Fonthill Estate.
 
 
Twice a year Fonthill Estate opens it's woodlands to the public.
 
 
This year we decided to have a walk around the woods without being there to check a load of timber, as this is where a lot of our timber is sourced.

Getting ready for summer.

After a few weeks of nice weather and a long Easter for some people have been busy and there has been a big increase in fencing materials and general items going out of the yard. I assume like Dad (Chris) people are gearing up and getting things done ready for the sunny summer months that are to come, Dad has been fixing a shed roof, Mum (Julie) has got her tomato plants in the greenhouse and I am planning a bread/pizza oven for the garden!!


  Here is an email from one customer who has obviously just finished his works project.

 
Another project finished.

Hi all at Ridley Sawmill,
 
Please find attached my project report from our Willow House Project in Hampshire, which you supplied the wooden uprights for.
Hope you find it interesting!
 
Happy Easter,
Alex

One happy customer!

 
 
 
 
Our last post was mainly about cladding and true to our word here is a photo from a customer showing some of the wood cut here at Ridley Sawmill.  Hopefully more photo's to follow.
 
 
 
Email received 10th Feb 2014:
 
Chris ,
            I picked up my timber on Fri and mentioned to your wife I would send a picture of the building Jonathan and I have been working on over the past few years made from Oak cut at Ridley Sawmill.
 
Thanks for your support  and I hope you agree nice to see a wide waney edged board use to good effect.
This was a picture taken a year ago . I’ve since put in copper caps to the end beams and drip sills where necessary.
 
Regards Chris
