Good wood draws crowds
By Jan Degrass
We on the Sunshine Coast love our wood. The Wood Expo, a one-day celebration of this natural resource, took place last Saturday and drew a constant flow of crowds to the Seaside Centre in Sechelt. It was organized by the Sunshine Coast Community Forest and the 22 exhibitors were all local folk who do the most interesting things with locally sourced wood. For example, Charly Mithrush is an artist, not a woodworker, but she has been incorporating her art into garden benches, and she will use waste cuts of wood from construction sites to apply encaustic, paint or inked paper wrap to embellish them. The Suncoast Woodcrafters Guild has also been creative.
