Just wondering whether to buy the new ones or go for an antique set?

My OH made mine for me from Cherry Wood, although really they should be made from beech.

I have several pairs of old ones.  Some are a bit prone to splintering, which isn't ideal (though I just pick the splinters out!)  Some are very very smooth and don't splinter.
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

Old ones might be like my rolling pin, lacy patterns from the woodworm holes!
