The First State 
Woodturners
club is a chapter of the American Association of Woodturners.
The club provides a place for woodturners to meet and discuss woodturning. We have lathes available and experienced turners to demonstrate safe procedures and many different styles and techniques.
EDUCATIONAL: The First State Woodturners Club has members of varying skill levels. All woodturners share their skills and knowledge with the other members. Experienced and new turners both learn from discussions and “Hands On” turning.
OTHER BENEFITS: Club members regularly have access to fallen trees, limbs, etc. and share this wood. Members with chain saws can help cut up turning wood which is then shared with everyone.
Our club will work with other clubs on the East Coast to bring well-known demonstrators to the area.
