As a bit of a whisky fan I was intrigued to see that Whisky Galore, a New Zealand based web site has picked up on the timber conservation work to Shackleton’s huts in the Antarctic. Various people from Carpenter Oak & Woodland have been involved in this project over the years. Every year during the short window of the Antarctic summer an international team of conservators takes on another phase of the work. This is a far cry from building oak framed homes in the relative warmth of the UK. During last year’s expedition time was spent clearing ice and snow from underneath the huts and to the delight of the team they came across crates of whisky that had been stored there. They say that only three crates were recovered!
