Last weekend our class journeyed to West Wind Hardwood on Vancouver Island in search of wood.
Here we go!
It was an epic trip entirely on public transport from Roberts Creek to Sidney - bus, ferry, bus, Skytrain, bus, another ferry, bus...
Morning tea with Spencer, Robert and Danielle
I very much enjoy seeing my shop mates outside the shop and away from the Creek!
Here we are
We were greeted by this glorious sign out front.
We started off with a short talk from Robert on lumberyard etiquette and purchasing wood.
Robert's selection
"You can never have too much wood."
We came away with a nice stack of wood, including Narra, Kwila, Teak, Goncalo Alves, Padouk, and some extremely tight-grained Fir.
It was a great time with all of you and we are already looking forward to our next wood run!
