Welcome to Rocky Mountain Woodturners

The Rocky Mountain Woodturners is a chapter of the American Association of Woodturners.

We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing the art and craft of woodturning through education. Our members include beginner hobbyists, professionals, and everything in between. No matter where you are on your woodturning journey, we want to help you enrich your woodturning experience and pursue your aspirations.

Meetings of the Rocky Mountain Woodturning club are held monthly at Woodcraft in Loveland located at 3718 Draft Horse Dr in Loveland, CO. Our general meetings are on the Thursday after the First Tuesday of each month at Woodcraft, and are also available to members via Zoom. There is a Pens Plus Small Items Turning group that meets (in person only) on Thursday 2 weeks after the general meeting. And we have a Social Zoom gathering on the Thursday after the Pen group (3 weeks after the general meeting, on Zoom only). The Board of Directors meets on the Fourth Tuesday of each month. All these meetings start at 6PM.
