Whether it is an upcoming birthday gift or adding to your furniture collection, there is something for everybody’s liking at the Kiama Woodcraft Group exhibition and sale at the Old Fire Station Gallery on Terralong Street, Kiama.
Opening at midday on Thursday (3 July), the exhibition and sale will be open until 9 July from 9am until 4pm.
Kiama Woodcraft Group member Glenn Grigg told The Bugle that this exhibition and sale will be “small items of furniture or toys, clocks, bread and cutting boards, anything that is made with wood basically”.
“I’ll have two tables and a number of cutting boards made from Camphor Laurel timber, a couple of bowls maybe, a salt and pepper mill.
“One of the guys in the group has been collecting tools for many years, chisels, planes, all those sorts of things and he has repaired a lot of old tools and he sells those as well.”
For those who thought that they had missed the usual exhibition and sale in January, fear not.
“We normally have the sale in January and then one later in the year around October, but we missed the January one this year because it (the Old Fire Station) was booked out.”
The Kiama Woodcraft Group meets every third Tuesday at the Joyce Wheatley Centre with Grigg encouraging those interested to attend.
“It is an opportunity for guys to meet together, share expertise, have a cup of tea together,” Grigg said.
“It is a bit like a men’s shed, where the guys meet and encourage one another. So, there is that element, and it also gives us an outlet.
“During our monthly meetings we share stories, there is an ask the expert session.”
