First State Woodturners

First State Woodturners, located in northern Delaware, is a non-profit 501(c)(3) affiliate chapter of the American Association of Woodturners (AAW).  Our Chapter provides a place for area woodturners to meet regularly, show their recent work, learn new techniques, view demonstrations, and discuss various aspects of woodturning.

We have lathes available, and experienced turners to demonstrate safe procedures and techniques.  We frequently have guest demonstrators at our monthly meetings — including turners from other Chapters, as well as turners of national and international renown.

First State Woodturners typically meets the first Wednesday of every month at the Woodcraft of Wilmington store in New Castle, Delaware.  Besides Delaware, we have members from nearby southern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and eastern Maryland.  The Chapter has over 50 active members at all levels of experience, including new turners who are just starting out.  Please subscribe to our mailing list to receive occasional notifications on upcoming Chapter meetings and events.
