JERSEY - A WEALTH OF AZOBE RAILWAY SLEEPER WALLS!
24 August 2022
Thanks to Barry for sharing his wonderful landscaping. A great collection of timber walls built from the 'champagne' of railway sleepers- Azobe tropical hardwood. Azobe is very heavy, very hard to cut, (although his professional bandsaw looks the business), and very durable. When new, the Belgium railway networks laid them down hoping for a potential life expectancy of up to 100 years. Their working life is now finished on the railway track, but at 50-60 years old they've still got some happy productive years left in retirement as they enhance Barry's beautiful Jersey garden!
