    'Timberrr'.... quite wooden in one's habits ....

    Just came across this place, interesting concept - for the eco warriors ?

    Not sure about pricing, maybe good idea for the kids ....

    I have one, obtained from a fellow MCGTGer. Phenomenally light, surprisingly accurate, very hard to fasten the clasp.

    My thinking was that as my life revolves around wood, it would be a visible statement of the inner Green Man.

    Also a no-brainer as to which watch I will wear at my funeral.

    I quite like them but their range is limited. They need to branch out more...

    I think that the TZ members who like these watches should form a splinter group...

    I would buy one but I am pruning my collection currently.
    It’s good to see budding watch makers coming to the market.

    My prediction is that this will all turn to ash. I wish there was an alderternative to take to the beech in Cypress. That would be the cherry on the cake for us elders. My friends Holly and Hazel would no longer need to wear their firs. Very poplar indeed. Yew are bound to lichen it.

    Yew guys seem to have Cypress some inner tree puns, and are now making this thread very Poplar, I think Alder posts like this need revisiting time to time as these old Chestnuts are gold mines. I think Fur some time I have also been doing the same.

    Anyway I found this a Laurel laughs but I have just Cedar getting out of the car so I have to shoot..

    Please don’t Taxxus anymore with this puns......

    Think yew can palm us off with all these puns? I suppose some of you think they're a sight for sore bonsais. Afrormosia to the ears. But I reckon they're worth a kick in the crabapples.

    You’d think the spec would’ve been more indus-tree-al.

    This thread could could blossom in to something amazing. Maybe it should be a sticky...
    I don’t understand why anyone would shrub their shoulders at the gags, lots of them are berry good. That said I have been drinking this afternoon and my sense of humour gets a bit strange when I am trunk

    I was just thinking "plank-woodness this thread is withering on the vine" - but it seems some of you are arbor-ing other ideas and still palming us off with more dreadful puns...

    I think we all need to step back to look at the bigger picture, otherwise we run the risk of not seeing the wood for the trees.....

    Some of us are beginning to get too worked up over this thread. I think threads like these are one of the quercus of the forum that make it so enjoyable...
