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.

Our club recently celebrated our 30 year anniversary as a local chapter, 1987 - 2017. Guests and prospective members are always welcome to attend one of our monthly meetings!

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.
