I respectfully disagree. When touring early 2015 through South Australia, I was looking for some special souvenirs.
Guess what, it starts with “W”.

So, I found George, and his Gorgeous collection of vintage Australian pen blanks. And, rather than going the virtual road, we arranged a face-to-face visit at his backyard shop in the neighbourhood of Mount Compass, close to Adelaide.

A feast for the eye, indulging on all the 82 wood species he collected with love and attention. Amaaazing ( that is truly Aussie) to see such an international business work in realtime.

You can find George’ business at www.georges-bits-of-timber.com. Highly recommended.

An Amsterdam shop with a long design history. Mandatory stop on any visit to the Netherlands.

It was one of the discoverers of Piet Hein Eek, famous for being the first to use recovered wood in his furniture.

But sometimes, you’re forced to, like in case of the woodturning lathes of Wivamac. You see them everywhere in Europe in the workshops of serious woodturners. And it is them who brag about their Belgian stuff. Made in Belgium, with pride
