Client asked me for a quote to replace the bottom 2 curtail steps of his staircase with oak. It had been a while since I had to order seasoned oak for a job so I priced properly before submitting the quote. Material cost is £630 for enough timber for 2 steps.
£60 for the single length of oak cushion bead to go around my fireplace. And I had to cut half of it away. I have a 3m length of I think 45x7mm PAR oak than I bought before deciding on the cushion bead. That's already listed in my will.
We'll be going back to the days when joiners are buying old church pews.
