  • Wood Rats

    Our members organize together on Wood Rats excursions across the Puget Sound area to harvest wood from recently felled trees due to wind storms or disease. Members participate by bringing their safety equipment, chainsaws, hand trucks, muscles, and a helpful attitude.

Donate a Tree

Thank you for considering a tree or wood donation to our club. The members of Seattle Woodturners proudly support a sustainable environment by obtaining and sourcing wood from salvaged, locally-sourced trees that have been previously felled due to wind storms, disease, damage, or simply old age.
