Lisa from Brisbane is the lucky winner of the $1000 Carbatec gift card draw at the Maleny Wood Expo 2024. Here is what she joyfully shared:

‘Here's a pic of me at Maleny Wood Expo last week. I enjoy whittling and also turning on my lathe. I'm a newcomer and have been working with wood for just over a year. I'm looking forward to spending my voucher probably on a bandsaw. I love going to Carbatec; the team is great and always so helpful. It’s my happy place.

The Maleny Wood Expo is one of my favourite days of the year. I bought lots of different wood, mainly bowl blanks, and some burls to power carve. I'm on Instagram as .’
