Christmas wishes from Wealden

Many thanks to all our customers in the UK, Europe and as far afield as Australia for your continued support in 2010 - we really appreciate that you chose Wealden.

Our sales office is closed from noon on Friday, 24th December until 8am on Tuesday, 4th January, 2011. However, orders placed on the Wealden website throughout this time will be processed before the VAT increase to 20%, which takes place at midnight on Monday, 3rd January.

In 2011 we will be increasing our range of sawblades to include bandsaw and jigsaw blades and adding to our ranges of router cutters, particularly solid spirals, so we look forward to being of service to you again soon.

Have a great Christmas and a very happy and successful New Year from us all at Wealden.

Steve Prescott's picture framing techniques features Wealden's exclusive new cutters

Steve Prescott, who writes regularly for British Woodworking magazine, has just completed an article on picture framing techniques using some of Wealden's new range of picture framing router cutters.

Steve used the Limone cutter (part number T3707)to make a frame in ash with walnut stringing detail and the Lanterns cutter (part number T3705) to make a smaller frame in American black walnut.  The Victoria cutter (part number T3713) made a small frame in rippled sycamore, while Steve used the Wave cutter (part number T3709) to make an attractive octagonal frame in oak.  Finally, using the Ripple cutter (part number T3711), Steve made a triple window picture frame in oak.

He also used some of Wealden's dowel drills to insert strengthening dowels into the mitred corners of the frame.
