    Default Wood turning in Brisbane?

    Evening All
    I am attending a conference in Brisbane next week. I am staying at the Rendevouz Hotel.

    Could anyone recomend a fine wood working/turning gallery / shop within walking distance of my hotel?

    Any wood places I MUST visit????????????????

    Thanks

    Willy

    Hi Willy, I only visit Brisbane occasionally, so not real familaiar with the place, but I cant think of anything close to the city. I could be wrong though.
    Hopefully one of the locals might chip in and recommend somewhere for you.

    I can't think of anything near the CBD but there are a couple of book shops in there worth a look...

    Find this one & spend a bit of time in there... It is a 2nd hand book shop that is really worth a look.

    Hi Willy,

    Sorry I can't help you directly but I suggest you get in contact with Rob McKee from the woodturners Society of Qld. Contact details are on the back page of the on line 'turning talk' society newsletter.
    http://media.tripod.lycos.com/1815868/2004113.pdf

    I'm sure Rob will be able to help.

    Regards

    Bazza B

    Thanks Fellows
    Was a little dispointed intially with the response from the forum, however, when I googled search for galleries, none were forthcoming. Looks as though I shall have to get on the turps instead.
    Cheers and thanks to those who responded

    Why not let us know the night you are in town and perhaps have a Forum dinner somewhere on a night that suits you, at least you might get some good company and converstation .

    Well
    I spent my time in Brissy, went for a wander in the CBD and found an information booth. I posed my question about a quality wood gallery/shop. None in the CBD, the closest one the ladies in the booth could think of was Montville, 75 minutes drive away. Oh well, might be a marketing opportunity for someone
    Cheers
