National Woodskills Festival Kawerau - 2019

This really is a marvellous show of a huge variety of woodwork. Everything from some significant sculptures down to tiny woodturning. Every age class of woodworker is involved with some categories for specific groups of young people. To make it a little more special there is also one class where Pinus radiata must be the wood used – and that produces items every bit as good as the much more expensive timbers.
