West Australian (Perth) Wood Show 2019
The Show ran Friday to Sunday, today - which is when I managed to attend. Some of the photos are taken early in the day. The plan was that I would do a few demonstrations (of hand tool use, plus run a master class on dovetailing), grab my prize (I did win something), and run. But there were so many interesting things to see, and I got chatting with old friends .. and then my wife turned up in the afternoon (presumably to ensure that I did not sell her new table ... no, there was a concurrent craft show on) ... and so on ...
I took a lot of photos, but I will just show a few.
Old tools for sale!
Isn't this cool ...
I did help ... pointed out a little bit of tearout ...it did bring a smile
My favourite is always the area where my friend Greg Miller (in the blue shirt) runs a green wood school, and always has a section for kids:
Where else do you see kids having so much fun with a shave horse!
Just in case you think that Perth is stuck in the 1800s, there were plenty of power tools and machines for sale. But it is old hat. I know everyone is waiting to see the furniture.
Well, I did not win. My club mate, Ian Houghton won first prize with a chest called "The Three Americans" (the name went over my head). Interestingly for me, it was also a harlequin theme. A really stunning piece. The photos do not do it justice.
Dovetailed drawers with suede bottoms ...
I got second place ...
Third went to this heavily inlaid cabinet ...
One other piece I will show is first place in the box section, which went to another club member, Martin Burgoyne. Martin had just returned from a course in Japan, the influence for this piece ...
I did not understand it at first, and needed to read the display notice ...
Hope you found this interesting.
Oh, my prize for second place was a HNT Gordon end vise.
Regards from Perth

Derek,
Thank you for taking the trouble to post these photos. Some extraordinarily fine work there, not least your own.
For us poor Easterners I recommend a look at the WA Wood Show website WA Wood Show to see what a great show they put on.
Brian
