The Maleny Wood Expo is a massive two-day woodwork exhibition held on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.
This expo aims to promote the sustainable use of native wood and provide a fun country event suitable for the whole family.

The event also features the largest woodworking prize in Australia, known as the Wootha Prize “Open + Shut”. The expo will then feature showcases of exquisite woodworks in the form of sculptures, furniture artwork and many other materials fashioned from timber. Moreover, visitors get the chance to be treated to a rare and more exciting scene of seeing the woodworkers in action.
Make sure you stop and watch the chainsaw woodcarvers in action as they craft a masterpiece out of a chunk of wood. The amount of detail that can be achieved will amaze you!
Pop into the ToolShed, where you will see many toolmakers and their beautifully crafted tools on display. You may also purchase tools from the ToolShed to take home with you.
So come to the Maleny Wood Expo and experience something different on the Sunshine Coast.

Hi Bob,
Not sure as yet, the organisers haven’t published any information that I can find. I will keep my eye on it and publish any criteria that I find. Check back with us later in the year.
