More about this event
Woodworkers Central and City Timber
Woodworkers Central is an online shop just for woodworkers, bringing easy access to high-quality timber to those outside the main cities for the first time. Woodworkers Central is being launched by City Timber, which has been providing high quality timber and machining services to woodworkers, homeowners and builders in Wellington for over 30 years.
John Shaw
John Shaw is the founder of New Zealand’s highly-regarded woodworking school, the Centre for Fine Woodworking near Nelson. John has had formal furniture-making training both in the UK at Rycotewood College and at the College of the Redwoods in California.

The Shaw Collet Router, designed and manufactured in New Zealand, is a complete game changer for woodworkers, offering new levels of accuracy, controllability, safety and ease of use never seen before in router tables.
John will demonstrate the router table, and there will be specials deals available to those who order on the day.
