Ha, Hah, bit of a schoolboy error there me thinks big boy.
If your not nice to me i'm not going to send you the rest of the list of French ( european ) timbers

Poplar for european should have ( black ) beside it, sorry about that .

I am looking forward to see what delights you've been making over the winter??
