W h a t 's n e w! What the papers say. My interest in fireplaces began when I reinserted Victorian fireplaces and stoves into my flat two decades ago.

W h a t 's n e w! What the papers say. Above is the more mature Samson's Joinery style. For a while, although I can scarcely believe it, we made narrow pine bookcases for 200 to 250!
