INDULGE your woodcraft passion at the upcoming annual Woodshow, set to be larger than ever before! Scheduled on the last weekend of October, Shepparton Showgrounds Multipurpose Pavilion will be bustling from 9am to 4pm, filled with enthusiasts eager to learn and immerse in the world of woodworking.
The event, now gracing its momentous 31st year, is hosted by the passionate Goulburn Valley Woodworkers. This year boasts over 30 demonstrators including local and interstate talents. According to the club’s president, Emily Slaughter, “The Woodshow is a great way to increase knowledge, watch demonstrations, and chat to makers.”
Diverse demonstrations will be on hand such as bandsawing, box making, carving, joinery, and even unique offerings like pyrography and resin pours. Excitingly, renowned toymaker Tim Schloss will guide children in crafting their own wooden swords!
Be sure not to miss Doug Rosenhow’s live demonstration of the nearly lost art of hand hewing red gum sleepers.
The Woodshow allows the purchase of rarely available woodworking tools, items, and supplies. Mark out some time to browse the one-of-a-kind wooden items crafted by club members, boasting better “prices and quality of timber” than metropolitan areas.
Allow for a break and enjoy a meal from three food vendors on-site. The Goulburn Valley Woodworkers, a volunteer-run group dedicated to sharing woodworking skills, stand ready and excited to host this not-for-profit event.
