  • Sawdust Sessions

    Sawdust Sessions are opportunities for members to meet as a small group and receive instruction on one or more woodturning techniques. These activities are particularly ideal for new woodturners seeking to enhance their skill set.  [Featured: guest demonstrator, Glenn Lucas]

  • 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.
