Can you put me on the list please.

OK, still looking for the right piece of wood but I'm in.

Was it "tulipwood" ie yellow poplar that can have a green heart sometimes?

Where abouts are you Barry? I have to get about 20 sheets of 1.5mm birch ply in for a job in the next few weeks I'm sure I could spare a bit for you if you cqan wait.

Or a whole house full of furniture, well for a dolls house that is.

Any joinery firm should be able to run that for you, all you need is a spindle moulder and the motivation, yes it will cost more than ready made off the peg moulding but it should be better quality, Whats extortionate? primer is nearly always water based now so thats easy to do, router will make...

Can we see the end grain please?

Help!! Wanted urgently large quantity of Gopher wood, nails, pitch etc.

we had the same problem, unreliable charging, some days it was ok then others would not charge in the end it went totaly flat and would not even turn on so returned it, three weeks later got it back to find it's been wiped clean.
