"Clive from Turners Retreat rang the morning after I placed my order. The only piece they had currently in stock contained a couple of knots and he wanted to check it was suitable before sending it out. Confirmed it was OK and it arrived the next day. Yet another example of their excellent customer service."

Not too dusty to turn
