There was something for anyone with an interest in wood at the 30th annual GV Woodworkers Woodworking Show on Saturday, October 1, and Sunday, October 2.

Held at the Shepparton Showgrounds, experts from across Victoria, NSW and South Australia displayed their skills and products, with GV Woodworkers members declaring it the “biggest show yet”.

As well as the vast array of skills on display, including pyrography, wood turning and whittling, there was a range of wooden products, such as furniture, turned bowls and platters, kitchen items and jewellery boxes for sale.

Children also had the chance to make a wooden toolbox and play a game of giant Guess Who.
