Bundaberg Woodworkers Guild Inc

The Bundaberg Woodworkers Guild Inc was founded in 1989 and formally created on 24 May 1989. It has over 80 local woodworking enthusiasts. The committee includes President Steve Faulkner, Vice President Ian Flaye, Secretary Margaret Faulkner, Treasurer Tony Hall, and committee members Robert Powell, Jen Carey and Darren Reid. The guild offers woodwork, woodturning, scroll sawing, and pyrography. It has been growing trees at the Botanic Gardens since the early 1990s. The guild meets every Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday mornings from 8.30am till 12.00pm.

It holds an annual woodwork competition and open day each October. The guild builds toy trains for the Australian Sugarcane Railway Group. It participates in the Bundaberg A.P.& I. Show Society with a woodworking competition. The guild has an association with the local Gem Club for their Expo and Bunnings Sausage Sizzles and night demonstrations. Its aims include promoting interest in working in wood, communicating ideas, encouraging the work of woodworkers, and fostering awareness of conservative use of natural wood resources.

Bundaberg Woodworkers Guild Inc is a woodworking group in Bundaberg where members can pick up a range of practical crafts, with woodwork and pottery both on offer. The accounts describe a place where skills can be built up over time, and finished handmade pieces, particularly woodwork gifts, are highlighted as a focus of what is produced.

The atmosphere suits those wanting to learn alongside others developing their abilities. Sessions run on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday mornings, with the remaining days closed, and the group is based at 95 Walker St, Bundaberg Central.
