ALASKA WOODTURNERS MEETINGS
Due to the COVID-19 virus, the next physical meeting date has yet to be determined.
With the rapidly changing guidelines and emergency declarations surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19), the AWA will be holding remote meetings and demonstrations via Zoom until we are confident that we will all be safe during our meetings.
UPCOMING MEETINGS

All of our meetings take place on the first Saturday of the month (with some exceptions for holidays). We do not meet during the summer months of June, July, & August. For 20 minutes prior to each meeting, participants can bring in their woodturning tools for sharpening, and get tips on sharpening their own. There will then be a short business meeting followed by an approximately 90 minute long woodturning demonstration.
