I beg to differ. I was in Kalimantan just, was it?, (seems like a

The devastation is like havoc. Fires. Bribes and corruption in
officialdom.

Best be responsible for replenishing our own methinks. Get a
British grown hardwood and pay the price. Since it is gravely
undervalued (must be getting scarcer surely?), you could give it some
really fine joinery work and perhaps even some embellishment.

Or do what someone suggested and settle for a softwood appropriately
treated .. maybe.. just suggestions

If you buy hardwood in this country you can ask for a certificate
which proves where it came from and the level of replanting there.
Britain is one of the most developed countries in the world in the
case of sourced timber be it soft or hard. Wish the rest of the world
was as bothered about it.

Mind you this countries forests were ravaged for years before we
caught a grip on it.
