The world-famous HMS Victory is undergoing a massive restoration and conservation programme. Nelson’s flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar is being stripped right back and having all rotten wood removed. Forces News have been given exclusive access to the project, to see the progress being made. | Forces News

I was recently lucky enough to get hold of some reclaimed oak from the HMS Victory restoration. There's a bit of it floating around at the moment (no pun intended), but that's not going to last long so I've bought what I can to turn. Each of these will be available for sale later on in the year closer to Christmas time and will come with a full certificate of provenance and fully traceable of its origin. | Matt Jordan - Woodturning
