Thread: Maleny Wood Expo 2016

I had the opportunity to visit the Maleny Wood Expo today, and thought that some of you might like to see a few photographs of some of the many exhibits.

For those who haven't visited the Maleny Wood Expo before --- if you're familiar with the TWWWS that is held in Brisbane in May each year - then the Maleny Wood Expo is not like that at all - it's not a woodwork trade show. The Maleny Wood Expo does have a few woodwork machinery and woodwork tools exhibitors, but generally, the Maleny Wood Expo has a big focus on wood craft. There's plenty of wood for sale if that's what you need, and lots of different examples of various people's wood craft work to help inspire you in your woodworking.

If you've got the opportunity, the Maleny Wood Expo is on this weekend (30 April, and 1 & 2 May 2016) and is well worth a visit. So, on with the photos in no particular order ..... Double Click each photograph to see a larger higher resolution view. Sorry, I slipped up and failed to record the Artist's name or Vendor's names for many of the photos


First up, some band sawn boxes ......
