One for the toy makers.

One of the stands that caught my eye at the Maleny Wood Expo was by Camphor Cottages..

they make Classic Timber Toys for kids of all ages….


The toys are made in northern New South Wales by Tom and Michelle and you can see them at

Byron Bay Markets on the 1st Sunday of each month or

Bangalow Markets on the 4th Sunday of each month

Featured woodworker 2010

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..

Just a little timber in 2010

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…

Any way enjoy this small vid of the timber.

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 )
