THE Coffs Coast Woodworker’s (CCW) annual exhibition will be held at the North Coast Botanic Garden in the Display Conference Room from 28-30 November.
A diverse range of crafted items will be on show.
“Whether it be charcuterie boards, turned bowls, jewellery boxes or purely decorative/whimsical carvings,” CCW spokesperson Stan Wood told News Of The Area.
“Woodworkers will be rounded up from their workshops to be in attendance over the weekend, to answer questions, talk to potential new members from among the visitors and, with luck, help with some early, stress-free Christmas shopping.”
Entry to the exhibition is free.
The CCW is a not-for-profit organisation of like-minded men and women who meet regularly to pursue their interest in making things with wood.
The club was established in 1982 and was previously known as Mid North Coast Woodworkers.
Members engage in all types of wood working activities including furniture making, woodturning, intarsia, jewellery boxes, furniture restoration, bandsaw boxes, carving, resin and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) work.
Membership of the CCW stretches from Red Rock in the north to the Nambucca Valley in the south and west to Dorrigo.
Members come from a wide variety of work backgrounds including teachers, truck drivers and professional carpenters.
Their common passion is a love of wood and woodworking.
The Coffs Harbour area is rich in local timbers from rainforest species such as Coachwood, Red cedar and Rosewood to hardwoods such as Spotted gum and Blackbutt.
Much of the timber used by CCW members is salvaged, donated by members of the public who need to remove trees from private property, or recycled from timber often destined for the tip or mulcher.
