COMMUNITY NEWS - Woodies weekend!

Join the Blackall Range Woodcrafters Guild Inc (the ‘Woodies’) for a weekend filled with woodcraft, demonstrations, and fun activities for all ages. Whether you're a seasoned woodworker or just starting out, there's something for everyone at the Woodies Wonderful Weekend of Wood.

On May 3 and 4 from 9am - 3pm at the Montville Sportsground, 230 Balmoral Road, Montville (3km south of Montville), highlights include live woodcraft demonstrations and woodworking competitions.

The exhibition and sale will show handcrafted wooden bowls, stools, boxes, carvings, toys, coffee tables and more, plus timber slab sales, a raffle and free shed tours. 

Parking and admission is free and there will be a coffee van on site, so don't miss out on this exciting event! Mark your calendars and bring your family and friends for a wonderful weekend of wood.

The ‘Woodies’ have been operating since 1996 and have a great bunch of members from all walks of life. They hold an ‘Introduction to Woodwork’ course for new members so you don’t need to be experienced when you join the group. However they do emphasise safety and have protocols in place to achieve this.

Shed activities include furniture making, box making, turning, pyrography, scrollsawing, marquetry, milling, toy making, carving, and community projects. For more information, visit blackallrangewoodies.org.au.
