Hi

A good friend of mine has a Stevenson Screen, which has decayed beyond repair.

Anybody know of any shops/online stores that still make them. Been looking for a while now and apart from the MetSpec site appear to be struggling.

Many thanks

Are you sure it is beyond repair? I bought an old wooden Casella one off eBay from a former COL member for £20 a couple of years ago. One side was completely shot, thanks to sun-induced rot yet, thanks to a local wood shop, I was able to get quite a few pieces milled at little expense and was able to restore it to its former glory. Took me three weeks in all - the main motivating factor being that to buy new they cost £800! It takes patience and time more than skill
