Thanks, thought I would use feather edge. Could of maybe had oak returning back, but I didn't like the idea of brickwork on top of timber + its cheaper

The quoins are drilled and the oak 20 mm stainless steel rods inserted about 6. The quoins have been in situ since I concreted the slab. The quoins were 40 each and the oak was 1k, stainless 14. So not bad price

glad your got the brickwork done before the heavy ice
