Hi all, please can you help me identify an insect found in a damp corner of a room where the timber is soft and damp. Problem found and being sorted but am interested to know if this will cause us further problems. Thanks

@makarneil @MAKARhomes Thanks Neil, that's looking great!

I have seen the images, seen individual trees but it is not until you physically stand in a wood and see the effect that it brings home to you exactly the impact Chalara is going to have. Depressing.

Bit of a surprise to find these little chaps inside a rotten garden bamboo cane, (presumably imported). Thankfully dead, can someone ID them please? @andyheald @WoollyMaggot

Douglas Fir is a real workhorse for #woodworkers due to its strength. It's *nearly* as hard as nails. It can be difficult to treat, but its ability to work in so many settings makes it an endearing friend for any #craftsperson. Find out more:

Must-read editorial from the British Medical Journal on Covid19.

And like all academic articles, it's fully referenced. So glib denials from UK Gov ministers won't cut it.
