Some members have been turning wood for a short time, others for many years, but we all have new skills to learn. If you have never turned wood, you should try it! It is extremely satisfying, despite the occasional frustration. Forming a shapeless lump of wood into a thing of beauty; working with hands, eyes and brain; devising shapes; actually producing something you can cherish, use, give away or sell. It is one of the most gratifying activities there is….

The club’s aims:- 

  • To encourage an enjoyment of the process of woodturning
  • To promote and foster a greater public awareness of the woodturner’s craft
  • To encourage an exchange of views between woodturners
