West Michigan Woodturners is an association of woodturners of all skill levels from beginners to advanced turners. The club is focused on education and advancing the art and science of turning all forms on lathes. We periodically offer an introductory class for beginning turners. At the monthly meetings demonstrations by either club members or invited speakers allow for turners of all levels to advance their skills. Please browse our site to see what we are doing and contact us if you have any questions.

Remember to bring your latest turning for the instant gallery table so you can brag in the show and tell session.
Demonstration:
The demonstration for our April 8th meeting will be several club members demonstrating how to safely mount a bowl blank on the lathe. There are many different techniques that will be demonstrated and discussed. Included will be some reverse mounting to enable you to be able to finish the bottom of the turning. The focus of the demonstrations will be safety and convenience.
