Welcome to the web page of the Oxfordshire Woodturner's Club, which is associated to the AWGB. To get around the site, click on the links above.

We have been established for over 10 years as a focus for woodturners in and around Oxfordshire. With over 60 members we cover a wide range of experience and ages.  Our meetings (second Thursday of every month) - see map - are informal and consist usually of demonstrations or club evenings.  There is always something for both beginners and established turners; new members are always welcome. Our Programme for 2008 is listed on this site, pictures of some previous evenings are also shown.  We can also be seen at local events such as in the Woodland Festival in the Nuneham Courtenay Arboretum in August 2007.

We are delighted that the well-known turner Gary Rance is the Patron of our club.  Gary is considered one of the fastest and most accurate production woodturners in the UK and is one of only a few whose income comes solely from woodturning.  Gary has been a popular demonstrator at the club, combining infectious enthusiasm with pre-eminent skill,  and we look forward to a long and happy collaboration with him.  More information can be found on Gary's own web site.

Our bi-monthly Newsletter gives up to date information about the club, details of the monthly competition and relevant outside events.  Our gallery page shows examples of members work and links to their own web sites.  As woodturners we are always looking for new thoughts and ideas.  As an example of our wide interest see the picture of a recently restored treadle lathe.

Please contact us for more information on the club and to discuss becoming a member.
