My Shop on Etsy

Since then, a few people have appeared.

What’s new at the Bungendore Woodworks
The Gallery has been busier over the last few weekends.
This time last year we were closed during the lockdown, and using our time
with the doors closed to rebuild our website and Point of Sales system.
It’s been great to keep the doors open this year, enjoying the last days of
warmth before the winter cold well and truly sets in. There’s nothing like

of Australia’s best wood workers. Our team have been busy keeping the
Gallery in top condition for everyone to enjoy
