Dad's skills were passed onto my brothers - two who work wonderful miracles in wood. One brother builds beautiful wooden boats (won many awards!) and the youngest brother has his own timber business building bespoke pieces of furniture and recreating mouldings and windows etc for those restoring old homes. He built me a beautiful china cupboard, which is admired by many, as well as two lovely mirrors for our home. (One's actually an old window frame - above a little birdhouse table Dad build me)
