Woodturning Online is a comprehensive web site dedicated to providing information and resources to wood turners worldwide.

Woodturning Online was created and is maintained by enthusiastic wood turners. We are dedicated to bringing you quality and valuable wood turning information by continually working to add to and update the information on our web site.

What is Woodturning Online?

Woodturning Online contains significant information on woodturning. In order to organize this information in a way that makes it valuable to you, we have broken the web site into 4 major sections; Turning, Turning Vendors, Community, More...

The Turning section contains information that is focused upon the actual activity of turning. This section includes ways to build skills, make specific turned items, and ways to learn more about turning.

The Turning Vendors section contains information on the vendors that make products useful in turning. This covers everything from equipment, accessories, supplies and materials. In addition, we have a section on Galleries that sell turning items. This includes art galleries, gift shops and craft stores.

The Community section provides information on ways that turners can meet and can participate with other turners. The first way for you to meet other turners is through turning associations and local clubs. Also, many organizations create events which allow turners to gather, we list these events in the Calendar of Events section.

Our Forum section enables people with knowledge and personal experiences to meet and talk to people looking of information, alternatives and with questions. This interactive section of the web site enables you to independently get timely information on turning.

The More... section contains links to enable you to contribute new information to us and to notify us when one of our links is not longer working. Also details about Woodturning Online and standard web site information are located in this area.

How do I participate?

The most direct way to participate is to join the Forums. The Forums currently contain sections for Turning, Equipment and Finishing. In the Forums, you can ask questions or share your experiences with other turners.

In addition, you can join our mailing list. We will be sending out short monthly email newsletters telling you about new items, updates to the web site and other information of interest to turners.
