Here’s the latest offering from the good people at the Australian Wooden Boat Festival. With only 28 weeks to go until the next Festival, (the first since 2019) things are starting to really hot up. Its going to busy, so start planning your trip NOW!

In this short film we head to the West Coast of Tasmania with the AWBF and sit down with Randal Morrison, co-owner of Tasmanian Special Timbers.

A rough, old school sawmill that produces some of the world’s finest timber, including the uniquely Tasmanian Huon Pine. Hear the history of the industry and Randal’s family connection with the timber.
