This festival will highlight the history of the timber industry and its value past and present.
The Southern Shoalhaven Timber Festival is the first of its kind to be held in the Shoalhaven Shire.
Festival goers will get to view some of the important parts of the timber history of the Southern Shoalhaven.
We are calling all interested wood workers from all over to participate in this special event. Stalls size is 3x3m $25 (no powered sites). larger sites are available for slabs/bulky items.
We are working at having the most wood items at the one place and time to enter book of records.
All wood working clubs and wood workers are welcome even if it is just your hobby. We want you to participate in this first ever timber event held in the Shoalhaven Shire.
We expect to attract buyers from all over as this will be the first time galleries and other timber outlets will get this opportunity to purchase hand crafted timber products from the South Coast and other parts of the country.
No handcrafted wood working stall will be turned away.
