Woodturning

The Woodturning Committee of the Woodworkers of Central New York, Inc. (formerly the Central New York Woodturners) generally meets on the Second (2nd) Tuesday of the month.  For at least January 2023 the meeting location will be the Community Room at Station 1 of the Belgium Cold Springs Fire Department, 7920 River Road, Baldwinsville, NY.   After that, the location may change due to issues with the Belgium Cold Springs Fire District restricting the use of the room by the Fire Department members.
    Meetings start at 6:30pm.  Each "meeting" includes a demonstration, Show & Tell session, Monthly Challenge session, and time to interact with your fellow woodturners.  Often there are raffles of wood, tools, etc.  

​     The Woodworkers of Central New York is proud to be a Chapter of the American Association of Woodturners.
