I do actually leave the shop occasionally B.I.O.N. LOL
Any hoo this is the weekend of the Maleny wood fest.. , Maleny is in Queensland about 40 minutes drive north of my home in Caboolture.. north of Brisbane,, ok enough of the geography lesson,
The wood fest has the lot: logs, slabs, boards and finished furniture..
Met up with some old friends and made some new ones and had a blast
Just a few crowd shots
As something else to do.. A new feature.. a quick overview of one special woodworker selected for originality in design.. IMHO only..as you will be well aware there are many woodworkers who fall into this category … I had to pick just one.
This year at Maleny, Danny Madigan, from Wyndham Stumps in Moonie, Queensland, caught my eye and I have made a small vid just about him.
Yes the saddle is carved from a stump as well as the violin case at the back on the hay bale.
If you want more info about how to contact Danny just give me a yell..
I failed to get around during the weekend and only captured these shots of some of the timber left last thing on Sunday afternoon…
Very busy with my boards etc and answering questions about the Torque…after all that was what I was there for…
Lots of different timber available and well priced…
There were some bargains to be had… from what I saw being carried out of the show past the Torque Workcentre Stand…
George sold out on the Saturday and had to cut some more early the next morning… you can see the yellow sawdust on the road … from Osage Orange…
Geoff and Trevor even had to get the slabs we were dressing back to sell…
I'm drooling here in ole Michigan Larry, what would it cost in US to send a few of those slab this far North? Never mind I ain't got that kind of quid or sheckles or denaro or whatever, I don't even have my kids to sell anymore, wait! I got grandkids, is that legal still? Probably not. Someone would miss them. GRINZ )
