Welcome to WoodWorks

Greetings from your WoodWorks team. Want to see what the fantastic new community library in Tauranga looks like now it is in the final stages of fit-out?  The mass timber is a fabulous feature.

One for the construction managers – if you’ve ever tried to freehand a fastener at an angle without a jig, you know it is mostly guesswork. Check out the video for the innovative solution.

Does exposed timber = Relaxation? Is a picture is worth a thousand words?  In a word… YES.

Edmonton’s Coronation Park Sports and Recreation Centre is a velodrome-inspired community hub with an elliptical design and innovative wood-and-steel structure.

The CubeHouse in Amsterdam’s Zuidas district is a 13-story timber-hybrid building using glulam and CLT to create 16,300 m² of future-focused workspace.

And one to end the issue on... Woody puns

• Wood jokes never get old — they just get polished.

• Why did the tree nap? It was bushed.

• I opened a woodshop, and business is growing naturally.

• That carpenter is really nailing life.

• Why was the pine happy? It felt fresh.

• The lumberjack broke up with his girlfriend because she was acting shady.

• I’m totally board with these wood jokes.
