The Waxhaw Woodturners club is a friendly group of people with a common interest that promotes the art of woodturning through our monthly meetings, demonstrations, and videos to help you learn and hone your skills and are here to help you become a better woodturner.The highlight of our monthly meetings is a woodturning demonstration by a featured woodturner showing specifics on how to make all kinds of fancy and simple creations. These meetings allow the opportunity to meet many people who have a passion for woodturning and are more than willing to share their knowledge with others. Our meetings also feature show and tell items brought in by our members as well as some great raffle prizes! Visitors are always welcome!

In two of the many ways that we try to give back to our community is by turning Beads of Courage boxes and Wig Stands. The boxes are collected and donated to area hospitals through the Beads of Courage program where they are given to children undergoing treatment, while the Wig Stands are donated to Carolina Breast Friends where they are given to those undergoing treatment.

On the first Saturday of each month (weather depending), the Waxhaw Woodturners attend the Waxhaw Farmers Market to provide information about or club, demonstrate various turning techniques and turning wooden spinning tops to hand out to the young... and the young at heart.
