Bought these today from Waterstones bookshop in Taunton.

This is a net made from the tree Rob cut down for his book. I can thoroughly recommend the book along with the ash. Oh and the nets now finished!

As a keen whittler myself Mr Penn's book is quite tempting, so many books out there, so little space on my shelves....
