摘要

Suffolk-based furniture maker Titchmarsh and Goodwin have operated a sawmill for their own use since the 1970s. "You can't beat English oak for quality, but the oak pinhole borer, an ambrosia beetle, is doing its best to do just that," said managing director Peter Goodwin as he showed Forestry Journal around his well laid out and tidy sawmill and timber yard at Witnesham, four miles due north of the furniture factory at Back Hamlet in Ipswich.
