About the Gallery
The building
Bungendore architect, Maurice Barnes, designed the Gallery to create the perfect environment for exhibiting wood and other artworks.
The Gallery was built in 1994 from Australian materials, including Jarrah posts, beams and staircase; Tasmanian Oak floors, Ebonised Victorian Ash frames, and New South Wales Flooded Gum wall paneling.
David MacLaren
Bungendore Wood Works Gallery founder and artistic director. David Maclaren, is the epitome of the ‘journeyman’.
David began his journey in 1973, when he responded to the classic ‘Help Wanted’ sign in the Impression of Wood Gallery on the corner of Manhattan’s Lexington Avenue and 27th Street.
History
We believe in building a cooperative network with woodworkers, and we work to ensure there is a diversity of displays and exhibitions in the Gallery.
