Appeal for wood
Steve Hutton says: I'm building a Greek style 'IKEA' Temple for the Leytonstoen Arts Trail show in the ex-Woolworths at the end of June. I'd like to keep the costs down so I'm wondering if anyone has or knows of anywhere with left over/scrap chipboard sheets 8x4ft or 4x4ft and some lengths of 4x2" timber by any chance?
Contact Steve on 07956 488211.
