The Corridor Woodturners 

​of the Cedar Rapids / Marion Iowa metro area

is a local Chapter of the

American Association of Woodturners (​AAW).​

Corridor Woodturners meetings are held the 2nd Thursday of each month, starting at 6:30 PM, usually lasting about two hours.  We start with some announcements, buying raffle tickets, photographing your show-and-tell item (check out the galleries, above), then a demonstration of the topic of the month.  After a short break, we ask each person to discuss their show-and-tell item, marvel over the project-of-the-month items, and pick the raffle winners.  Guests are always welcome! 
Meetings are held at the Marion High School wood shop.
         (Maps to the high school are here and here.)

Christmas Gift Photo Contest

Snap a photo of whatever you make for Christmas gifts this year, and send it in to the club email, along with some detail about the item, and who the recipient is.  We'll compile a slide show and post it here.  Contest closes December 29.

Last year's slide show is here.

January Meeting

The club meeting on January 9

will feature a demonstration by

Bruce Kruse on the basics of

pyrography.  It will be interesting.

donated three sets of pyrography

equipment to be raffled off. 

See you there.
