2019 Illawarra Festival of Wood Images

The people behind the Festival

This inaugural event in 2017 was the brainchild of Stuart & Suzanne Montague from The Illawarra Woodwork School and Christian & Tomiko Timbs from Japanese Tools, who have a long association with the fine woodwork industry. Stuart & Christian decided to tap into the enormous interest in woodworking by organising a festival.The festival is returning woodworking back to its grassroots where people can enjoy hands on experience and learn about the tools, the skills and the craft of wood artisians. Part of the inspiration behind the festival is to rekindle the style of woodworking show from years gone by where it meant more than just an opportunity to sell finished products.
