This isn’t the update we were hoping to share 💛

Like many in our local community, we’ve been impacted by the recent weather events and are now working through what comes next for the studio.

While this means we’ll be closed for the remainder of the term, we’re focusing on finding the best possible path forward so we can reopen in a space that is safe, functional, and aligned with the experience we want to provide.

We’re so grateful for the support, kindness, and understanding we’ve already received — it truly means the world to our family and our small business.

We’ll continue to keep you updated as we move through this next stage 🤍

Studio Update – Flood Event in Bundaberg

Over the past several days our area has experienced a significant flood event. Our studio was completely surrounded by flood waters and inaccessible to us until this morning.

After visiting the site earlier today, we are incredibly relieved to report that the studio itself remained dry — by the skin of our teeth. Flood waters reached the carpark and entered from the back and side of the shed complex, and another centimetre or two would likely have meant the studio being inundated.

While we are very grateful for this outcome, many neighbouring businesses and homes have not been as fortunate, and clean-up efforts across the area are already underway.

At this stage there is currently no power at the premises, and a large portion of our essential machinery and equipment had been relocated offsite as a precaution and cannot yet be returned.

Because of this, Australis Wood Studio will remain closed for the coming week while the area continues recovery efforts and while we work through the logistics of safely setting the studio back up.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause to our clients and students.

For those currently enrolled in classes or workshops, we will be in contact to organise refunds, credits, or make-up sessions once we are able to reopen.

In the meantime, we encourage everyone in our community to support those who have been impacted by the floods in whatever ways you can as recovery efforts begin. Please also continue to support our local businesses as they work to get back on their feet in the coming weeks.

We will share further updates as things progress.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and ongoing support.

TEMPORARY CLOSURE NOTICE

Due to the current severe weather conditions and expected flooding in our area, Australis Wood Studio will be temporarily closed until further notice.

Our team is currently working to secure equipment, materials, and the studio space as we prepare for potential inundation affecting our local catchment.

There is a possibility that this weather event may result in damage or loss to parts of our studio and operations, and we appreciate your patience and understanding while we assess and manage the situation.

Please be aware that responses to messages and enquiries may be delayed over the coming days as our focus is on safety and recovery.

We will provide updates as soon as we are able.

Thank you for your understanding and support of our small local business during this time.
Stay safe everyone. 💛

🍂 Something new is taking shape in the workshop…

We’re currently designing our Autumn Holiday Workshop Series at Australis Wood Studio.

This season will include:
• hands-on builds
• creative craft projects
• a few things we’ve never offered before

And for these holidays, we’re planning something a little different — with workshops suitable for a wider range of ages than usual.

We’re not revealing the projects just yet… but they’re going to be good.

Keep an eye on this space — the full program will be announced soon.

There’s something deeply satisfying about watching a chisel mortiser at work. 🪵
Combining a hollow chisel and drill bit, this machine cuts clean, accurate square holes — perfect for strong mortise and tenon joinery.

It saves time, improves consistency, and takes the hard work out of chopping mortises by hand while still delivering beautiful, traditional results.

Precision, strength, and craftsmanship — all in one square hole.

Use a sharp saw blade — dull blades tear fibers and make cuts messy.

Blurb: Dull blades require more force, which can make your timber tear out, create uneven edges, and even strain your arms. A sharp blade glides through the wood cleanly, giving precise cuts and safer handling. Regularly sharpening or replacing blades saves time, reduces frustration, and improves your finish.
Tip for followers: Check your blade before every project — a quick inspection can prevent major headaches later.

🔨 Ready to build real skills?

Our adult programs start *the first week of March*, with two clear pathways depending on what you want to learn.

✨ *Woodworking Foundations* — a structured course where you’ll focus on one larger Australis-designed project across the program (with occasional smaller skill-building activities). You’ll develop core woodworking skills while completing a piece to take home and use with pride.

✨ *Confident Home Maintenance* — practical skills for everyday life, including fixing leaks, patching walls, painting touch-ups, furniture repairs, and confident tool use around the home.

Small groups. Real tools. Supportive learning.

Sand With the Grain — The Secret to a Smooth Finish

Did you know that sanding against the grain leaves tiny scratches that magically appear when you apply finish?
Wood fibres run like brushstrokes — follow their direction, and you get a silky finish every time.
Most of us learn this lesson once… and never forget it. 😅
Did you get caught out by this too?
