PROFILE
Rick's wife, Sue, runs the Gallery at The Woodturners Studio
Her job is to make sure visitors feel welcome to the Gallery
and that the cats are well fed (and Rick is well fed also!)
Sue will explains to the visitors about the ancient kauri forest
and how we get our kauri wood that Rick uses. Bookings can be made for
tuition with Rick, we can show you the woodturning tools, explain about the
drying of the swamp kauri sell you a CD on
woodturning tuition, or woodturning tools and some Kauri wood for your
own project or to take back to a fellow woodturner. That's after you have
purchased one or two of Rick's unique kauri pieces from the Gallery!
Accommodation is available close by - Bed and Breakfast,
motel, hotel, RV park etc. We offer a free booking service for local
accommodation.
See the DVD playing in the gallery - this shows how we get
our wood from the swamplands.
DVD for sale
There is a Dairy and Fast Foods takeaway next door
to the Gallery so you can have a meal or drink. We have parking right outside
our Gallery.
Sue can also advise travelers on places to visit, where to
stay, traveling distances to the Bay of Islands and further north or south. She
can book your accommodation or tours around Dargaville down Ripiro Beach to the
Pouto Lighthouse, by 4WD drive trip or Big Foot Bus. We can also prebook Dolphin
tours and fishing trips in the Bay of Islands (Sue's sister has accommodation to
let in Paihia - good rates if you tell her you know us - see the
links page)
It's the "one stop shop". She was a Travel Agent for quite a
few years and is now operating the Kauri Info Centre in conjunction with The
Woodturners Kauri Gallery and Studio. So she is kept very busy. In between
times she can be seen cutting sandpaper for Rick, making pen or wrapping bowls to send
overseas or even moving the lawn! ye right says Rick the
photo shows her fishing (do you want her job?)
All jokes aside, Sue is a hard worker and does a great job
and will look after you as a visitor to our gallery.
