American Association of Woodturners

The American Association of Woodturners (AAW) is a professional organization dedicated to promoting and supporting the art and craft of woodturning, which involves shaping wood on a lathe to create various items such as bowls, vessels, and artistic pieces. It provides resources, education, and a community for both amateur and professional woodturners. Members can access workshops, publications, and exhibitions to enhance their skills and share their work. The AAW also advocates for safety standards and the appreciation of woodturning as a form of artistic and functional expression.
