A number of the British Hardwoods team attended the annual North of England Woodworking show in Harrogate last weekend which proved a great success. Great fun was had by all in a very busy show hall.

Many of the British Hardwoods team recently took part in a team-building paintballing trip at nearby Steeton Paintballing.
