About Us
Our mission is to foster broader understanding and appreciation of woodturning as a traditional and contemporary craft and art form among the general public and all woodturners, whether hobbyists or professionals. We will do this by offering programs such as demonstrations, presentations, conferences, seminars, and exhibits; a library of books, magazines, videotapes, and DVDs; and a regular opportunity to share ideas, questions, and advice with other turners. Depending on member interest, we also offer tool and wood auctions and raffles, critiques of works, opportunities for collective purchase of wood and supplies, and a mentoring program.
We are a chapter of the American Association of Woodturners and encourage you to join.

Our Meetings
Our meetings are scheduled for the second Saturday of each month in the Auto Shop at Flowing Wells High School, located in Tucson, Arizona. Doors open at 8:00 am for networking, followed by the club's business meeting starting at 9:00 am. After the business discussions and a short break, we will feature a wood turning presentation or demonstration. Guests are welcome to attend; however, please note that December's event will be an exclusive holiday meeting for members only.
