I very much intend to SK. Do you know what breed of tree it was from or do you know what the best would be? I was thinking of maybe an antler horn thing

I'm not good with trees. I can show you and oak, willow and conker and that's about it.

And how great would it be to get a bit of that oak from Redmire to make a catty and couple of banksticks

Damn you SK, its bad enough that I can't walk past water without thinking whats in there?
Walk past a junk shop without thinking whats in there?
Now I won't be able to walk past a tree without having to stop to look :hide:
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.
