The Society's exhibition of work, during the 2005 Melbourne Working with Wood show, received a lot
of public interest. Many people expressed interest in trying marquetry, and quite a large number of starter kits were sold.
There seemed to be a good amount of genuine interest in joining the Society, and time will tell.
