Looking for a Fun, Creative Hobby? Woodturning may be the choice for you.

The Ottawa Valley Woodturners club can help you get started. We offer beginner training classes, mentoring programs and interesting demonstrations at our monthly meetings. Hands on demonstrations by world renowned woodturners are also sponsored by our club. Many of our members got started using these programs. Their lives have been enriched and some have gone on to become internationally recognized advanced turners. If you are interested come to our next meeting and check us out. , Your 1st meeting is free and our annual membership fee is a modest $35. Send us an email if you have any questions.

I have your orders and will hopefully have the cost, all in, by next Tuesday. It would be very helpful if you brought cash or a cheque to pay for your order in advance this Tuesday. You should know the approximate value of your order. I will have more info. about additional wood products that will be available at that time. Thanks for your patience.
