So between Christmass and the new year we had the wifes son come in who is a carpenter and general builder.
In fact one of the team that is doing our major renovations.
I was hoping to do this job myself but as he has all the tools it seemed easier for him to do it.
Let it not be said builders are a tidy group least not this one.
Every day I have spent cleaning up after him because I am a fussy git.
His workmanship has been a joy for me to see.
And though he had a few hicups with differing thickness of plaster he kept on......he hates gaps.
Solid oak skirting went down before oak architrave because I am having trouble finding the right one for the right price Ogee.
Some companies only seem to sell it for one side of the door !!!!
Some charge as much for one side as both.
I think I have found a company near Keighly now
Oak doors are on upstairs and with all furniture.
If nothing else upstairs will be done

Oak? Keighley? British Hardwoods, perchance?

I love working with materials like oak even though I end up spending a lot of time honing tools and it makes your tools go black

Yup that's them (Job and Knock)
They are a fair distance off from us.

Have you got any small joinery shops near you, check Yell.com. You may be able to get a batch run through as a bespoke job. If they have the usual planer thicknesser and a spindle moulder it is not too bad a job to run. Also a small shop can use up a load of oak offcuts on a job like this.

Just an idea.
