Uh, huh huh huh, huh huh, huh huh huh, Beavis, uh huh huh, you're pretty dumb, huh huh, dumbass, huh huh huh huh huh, huh huh huh.

Yeah it's a cheap and innacurate gag, but I will have wood soon. And even better, I'm gonna show you all!!!

Before this gets too wrong I have to say I am being thoroughly wholesome here, and entirely literal. I will simply need some wood (uh huh huh huh).

I've sort of opted loosely for Douglas Fir because, according to all the research I did at work when we had very durable old railway sleepers come in that hadn't been treated or creosoted but had survived high-impact industrial use for decades on end, it's just about the most useful piece of wood for making stuff you could hope to get for a good price.

See, it turns out that those humble Douglas Fir trees in the park and maybe even your garden produce one of the very best contruction timbers in the entire world, it has the 3rd highest strength-to-weight ratio of any wood we have (I think western red cedar and some kind of spruce/larch take the top 2 slots, not clear on that exactly) and is favourable for furniture making and cabinet making and houseframing and construction of every type for just about every_reason_you_can_think_of.Com

So it is pencilled in as the wood I shall make all my gun cabinets from; including display cabinets, stands, cunningly orientated and arranged gun racks and all and any designs for my show-off-ze-toys area, wherever that may ultimately be.

First things first though, lets find some `wood`, huh huh huh.

I'm gonna be trekking along to local woodyards and, if I can figure it out at work without anyone noticeing the startling lack of company business I actually embark on, I will get the photo aspect of this blog in place and we shall have words and pictures. Words & Pictures, folks. Honest.

It'll be just like TV. Only with fewer gameshows, hopefully.
