The woodwork gallery has a wide range of handmade wooden furniture, homewares and art pieces. The pieces range from small pens and chopping boards, through to whole dining suites that are amazing in their craftsmanship.

Visited to see the local exhibition and to see the amazing wood crafted goods in our local town :) Loved it!

This place is definitely worth a look if you're in Bungendore- or in the market for some extraordinary furniture or other timber goods

this gallery has showcased some of Australia's finest word artists in one gorgeous place. They carry everything from small frames to big pieces of furniture hand-made of Australian native woods.

So happy you enjoyed your visit! The Hannah cabinet in the entrance is a unique once in a generation masterpiece that took Geoff Hannah 6.5 years to create and certainly is a show stopper.

Beautiful artworks and things to see inside the store. Expensive but considering the amount of work that went into crafting the pieces- totally justified.

If you like beautifully crafted woodwork then this is a place to visit. While not everything may be to your taste, you cannot help but marvel at the effort that has gone into making the items. If you are looking for souvenirs, there is a wide range to choose from and many of the prices are very modest and although I was tempted by a table priced at $55000, I managed to resist in favour of a lovely picture frame at $23! There are also many pictures by local artists and it is easy to spend a happy hour wandering around. And don't forget the cafe which serves excellent food.

I am visiting friends living locally. We stopped by this place to look and dream as they said. Between the woodwork and the art I spent over an hour admiring the objects. I found things that would fit any budget from items I will take back to Belgium as gifts from Australia to pieces of work I have seen on the Antique Road Show (only new). After viewing what was in the store we enjoyed the restaurant. There was a variety of food and drink at very reasonable prices. Just to take a break at the restaurant is worth a stop. The staff at both the store and restaurant were very friendly and helpful and I was surprised at being able to just walk around and admire the amazing work this place creates. I will be back for the small gifts to take home.

Bungendore Wood Works is about 20-25 minutes' drive from Canberra, located in the picturesque Bungendore Village. After tootling through the local countryside, you can happily browse through the Wood Works and perhaps walk around the centre of Bungendore. Something for everyone from reasonably-priced better-quality souvenirs/gifts to one-off, superbly-crafted works of art. The range of wood used covers the country from Tasmania's Huon pine and black-heart sassafras to WA's jarrah to Queensland's silky oak. I found a wedding-present for friends in Sweden for $130 and dreamed of buying a large Huon pine blanket box for thousands... Kitchenware, chairs, tables, boxes of all descriptions, cabinets, mirrors, hall stands, works of art. The staff are professional, pleasant and well-informed. A range of quirky cards is also available. Go through the internal link to the pleasant cafe/restaurant next door for great coffee and cake, or a meal. Makes a great 2-2.5 hour excursion.My overseas visitors loved it.

I try to get to this gallery everytime in SE Australia. If you want to abide by the dictum of owning nothing that is not beautiful or useful, nearly everything here fits. The rest is merely beautiful and decorative and made by people who know and love wood. It is an unalloyed joy. OK, not everything is within the average person's budget but much is. The staff too are a delight and they will arrange international delivery.

It seems to be getting bigger and better - works of amazing design and craft skills - artisans with a passion for quality. Unique pieces that you will not find in commercial outlets in shopping malls.An easy 30 minute drive from Canberra makes for a pleasant day trip.

If you wish to see professionally crafted wood products then this is the place to be. It has small items for those traveling overseas and magnificent furniture originally designed. As luck will have it here is a great little lunch room next door.

You will never find higher quality works in wood than at the Bungendore Wood Works Gallery. It is second to none.

This place is a "must see" if you are travelling through Bungendore. Master craftsmen have created everything from trinkets, such as scarf holders, to significant works of art, such as a towering gilded cupboard filled with hidden drawers. My favorite detailed pieces was a framed parquetry image of an optical illusion where every straight lined appeared curved.
