For woodturners, nothing compares to the fascination of wood: the look, feel, smell, warmth, variety, and radiance of nature in all its glory. Exposing to the eye what is hidden behind the bark, and revealing what would otherwise be lost to the senses, becomes an addiction like no other.

Our Mission Statement Woodturning should be FUN, and we want to help you learn how to enjoy all the things you can create! We'll help you keep your sense of humor, both with yourself and with your work, to gain knowledge and experience from your trials and tribulations. We don’t call them “mistakes” in woodturning - they are simply new “design opportunities” ! |
