Stone Fireplace, Stone Staircase, Limestone Fireplaces

Have you ever been to the CLA Game Fair?  It’s not all about shooting a fishing, and in fact there is just so much there that is of interest to everyone. It’s finished this year, as it was Friday; Saturday and Sunday of last week at Ragley Hall in Warwickshire.  For owners of Stone fireplaces who like burning wood; there were several stands selling automated machines to cut your logs. You just put your bough or branch on a conveyor and it was fed into a saw that cut your logs and then sent them along another conveyor onto your log pile. (So much easier than a chainsaw!)  This of course would give you more time to sit in front of the fires in your stone fireplaces instead of cutting fuel for them.

There were also many stands with country craftsmen who could make anything. Stunning basket work patio/conservatory furniture. Lovely oak/beech chairs all made by hand. Hand make ‘clinker built’ boats for your pond or lake. The list goes on!

Of course a great deal of the people who go to this fair are country dwellers and many of course will love in farmhouses; country cottages, and perhaps even some stately homes. They are therefore appreciative of simple design, and natural products. It makes us wonder if we should have a stand next year and exhibit with some of our stone fireplaces and other stone products. Perhaps we could even build a mini stone staircase for our display.
