does anyone knows where to find a good woodshop or a someone who works wood in Kunming? I have been near the second hand market in the north, but all the woodshop there are just selling large sheet of wood and nothing else.

There used to be a shop or two,,in the XiNan Construction supply Market that did woodwork (like fancy door frame carvings etc),they had larger workshops nearby, just walk around the market till you see them.

Thanks, will do that and share with everyone the result!

Actually, I talked with my friend, and both of us don't know where is the XiNan market. Can you give some indication. Many thanks again

I agree, most furniture here sucks..

I have the skills to make western style and western quality furniture, thick, solid and beautiful.

Or basic funniture of melamine ( no milk in it..Haa)

Kunming has plenty of the basic wood matreials although I've seen rough wood planks and beams, hard wood and soft wood in western kunming, these can be cut and planed to our specifications .

To work with an existing shop or to form a co-op workshop if there is enough interest.. wood and steel workshop to teach / learn skills.

This could lead into a business.....

Any comments?? Mike

i had some wood engraved/carved in the Guandu district-east of KM. The area is a huge industrial area that sells alot of raw wood, flooring and other building supplies and some shops carve wood by request. I took a cab from Nanyao and the driver knew where the area was.
