Established in 1987, Central Florida Woodturners is an organization created to provide local woodturners with woodturning demonstrations, information, and ongoing education while sharing in a social and interactive environment. We want to promote the art of woodturning as a skill for all ages!

Central Florida Woodturners meet monthly and host a variety of special events throughout the year. We meet the 3rd Thursday of the month at Woodcraft of Orlando, January through November! (In December we have our holiday party!)
During our meetings we have a SHOW and TELL where members show and explain one of their turnings. We also hold WOOD AUCTIONS that can get pretty lively (!)…And then we have a LIVE DEMONSTRATION by a reknowned wood turner. Occasionally, we have members demonstrate a particular technique, turning or tool.
Whether you are a novice or a seasoned turner we believe there is always something you can learn and share.
We would love for you to stop by and check us out.


CFWT is a local chapter of the American Association of Woodturners.
