Mike runs an independent sawmill that processes quality native hardwoods for a variety of purposes, including wet, kiln dried and seasons woods. He says -

I’ll be bringing a selection of ‘make-it-yourself’ kits as well as more items for your reenactment needs.

I will be supplying the wood in kit form to enable people to make their own products rather than having to go and source and process the wood.

A sample list of products I will be bringing to my first The Original Reenactors Market
Shield blank kit (lime)
Sword scabbard (lime)
3 legged stool kit (ash)
4 legged stool kit (ash)
Spear handles (ash)
Axe and mace handles (ash)
Knife and sword handles ( beech,walnut,elm and yew)
Spoon and ladle blanks (lime, alder and beech)
Carving blanks (beech,alder and lime)

Slightly Warped Looms
Slightly Warped Looms. I am selling hand built warp weighted looms, as well as other historic weaving related goodies. As a new business my range will be increasing over time, we already offer warp-weighted looms of any size made to order, plus a few to buy on the day. this TORM we will have 1/6 scale model looms (As toys or for teaching) weaving swords, a few loom weights, plus books and leaflets (assuming I get them finished!), and beginners kits. The most popular loom is our half-sized historically plausible warp-weighted loom, suitable for demonstration, teaching and re-enactment (Iron age through to 12th Century), but without the space needs of a full size loom.

My name is Jalea Ward, and I have just finished a Masters degree in Experimental Archaeology, specialising in ancient weaving technologies, and have started this business to fill a gap in the re-enactment market for decent looms, share what I've learned, and learn lots of new things myself! My husband Chris has taught me the basics of woodworking and supporting me as I develop this new skillset.

Forgot this too! The have-a-go Neolithic warp weighted loom at Chalke History Festival. The warp is a bit scruffy, but it did the job and lots of people got to have a bit of a weave!
