    Post Tasmanian Timber & WWW Show

    The Tasmanian Timber and Working with Wood Show starts tomorrow at the Derwent Entertainment Centre, Hobart.

    Had a preview today of the competition entry pieces, some are really spectacular. I will try to remember to take the camera tomorrow and post photos tomorrow evening.

    PTC, there are some simpler bandsawn boxes on display, I'll take some photos for you, might change your mind about not coming.

    Two Lucas mills, one with a slabber and a bandsaw mill will be cutting hardwood, myrtle, blackheart sassafras, huon pine and other species.

    From a Guild point of view, we were happy with sales of items and the contact with potential new members but will need to see if this translates into membership applications being submitted.

    I spoke to Jim Carroll as he was packing up (Irene was really doing all the work) he said he would be returning next year, not sure about other exhibitors. I think sales for some were up and others were down.

    I purchased a JET 22/44 drum sander from Gustech, currently waiting for it to arrive, as I moved too slowly to buy the unit on the floor.

    I did get photos of the other category winners and will try to remember to post tonight.

    The first photo is a carved huon pine egg, won the Carving & Sculpture category. Chris says it took her around 1000 hours. It was an amazing item.

    The second photo is a guitar which won the decorative wood work section.

    Hi Lindy,
    Welcome to the forum.

    Unfortunately, Chris's egg was sold at the end of the show, went with an exhibitor back to the big island.

    If you want to send me an e-mail, click on my user name, then on send e-mail and I will forward it through to the Tamar Woodcraft Guild to see if they can put you in touch. I know Chris had numerous others.
