Association of Woodturners of Great Britain

If you have never turned wood you should try it!

Despite the occasional dig-in and other frustrations, woodturning is extremely satisfying.  Forming a shapeless lump of wood into a thing of beauty; working with hands, eye and brain; devising shapes; and actually producing something that you can caress, cherish, use, give away or sell - it is one of the most gratifying activities there are.

The AWGB have their own website now and you are strongly recommended to take a few moments to browse through those pages and learn how the Association of Woodturners of Great Britain can further your enjoyment of this ancient and rewarding craft.
