Woodturning Demos - Each meeting we have a program related to turning. We often have a demonstrations of woodturning projects or techniques. Demonstrators include members and professionals.

Show & Tell - At each month's meeting, we set aside a special time to look at member's work and listen to them explain the wood, finishing, techniques, and difficulties involved in making their turned item. We also encourage you to bring your work to the meeting and get valuable feedback and advice. It doesn't matter what your skill set is, we believe that this honest, straightforward feedback will help you become a better turner.

Wood raffles - A lot of wood is donated to the club from fallen local trees and from members. Individual pieces of wood are raffled off for $1 each at our meetings. We encourage you to bring in wood of any size and shape for the raffle. The benefits go to the club's treasury. We have members that will use whatever type, shape and size of wood that is available as we have turners that turn miniatures, segmented, spindle and faceplate turnings!
