What would you do with a kilometer of wood?
WoodWorks challenges you to get your tools out and set your imagination free at the Copenhagen International Wood Festival 2010.
Find two teammates, come up with a design for a sculpture created in wood and then build it in a public exhibition in Østre Anlæg park this August.
