Click to fill out a Membership form

Membership in the Woodchuck Turners of Northern Vermont is open to anyone desiring to attend our monthly demonstrations and activities and to and participate, learn, and share ideas about woodturning with other members. Members are encouraged to also become members of the American Association of Woodturners and enjoy their benefits as well.

Member benefits include, but are not limited to:

Monthly meetings with live demonstrations, instant gallery, wood raffle, and president’s challenge gallery. Visitors and guests are welcome to attend one meeting for free, but should join the club if they return for another. The majority of the club dues cover the costs of our demonstrations, equipment costs, prize money, and other club costs. The remainder funds club expenses and our annual holiday party and are used to educate the public about the art and craft of woodturning.
Free use of the club’s extensive lending library of woodturning books, videos and magazines. If you view only two videos per year, your savings over the purchase price will more than cover the cost of your membership fee. We have more books, magazines, and videos on woodturning than most public libraries!
Monthly newsletters and website with club information. Most members get the most up to date club info from our web site, additionally we also email a monthly newsletter to those members that provide an email address. The web site also has many great features, including online pictures of woodturnings from the instant gallery and several woodturning related videos.
Network with other wood turners. You’ll learn more from regularly brushing elbows with other turners than by any other means. There are hundreds of years of woodturning experience that you can take advantage of by talking with our members. A mentorship program is available for members.
Members of the Woodchuck Turners of Northern Vermont are covered under the AAW Liability Insurance for club related activities.
