Who we are
Welcome and thanks for visiting the website for the Woodchucks or Northern Vermont. We look forward to sharing the skills needed to advance the knowledge of woodturning. Whether we are novice, craftsman or artist, a shared love of working with wood creates the bond that makes us strong.
Our mission is to provide information, education, a meeting place, and an effective organization for all who are interested in turning wood.
Purpose: To provide an environment that fosters the art and craft of woodturning. Our members share techniques on turning wood, finishing wood, safe woodworking practices, proper tool and equipment use. We strive to increase awareness and appreciation of design for wood turned objects having functional or artistic objectives.
Who We Are: The Woodchucks or Northern Vermont is a local chapter of the American Association of Woodturners. Member’s skill levels range from novice to skilled professional. Some make all or part of their living from the craft. Interests cover the entire range of woodturning. We place a strong emphasis on both personal and environmental safety.
Meetings: We meet the third Wednesday of each month; locations vary depending on time of year. Right now we are meeting at CVU high school in Hinesburg, VT, click here for directions.
