Purpose

The Central Florida Woodworkers Guild was organized in 1980 with the purpose of encouraging and promoting the best standards of workmanship and design in the craft of woodworking. Central Florida Woodworkers Guild members aid fellow woodworkers and give counsel freely that foster public awareness and appreciation of woodworking crafts.

Guild members have skills in all aspects of woodworking. Members demonstrate their skills in furniture making, tools construction, wooden accessories, scroll saw projects, woodturning, carving and toy construction. Many of the members show unique skills in the design and implementation of wood projects. Members annually constructed more than 1,000 toys for distribution to local charities.

The broadly based skilled members use hand tools and power tools. Experience ranges from novice to master craftsmen. All levels of skills are welcome. Monthly meetings are held at Woodcraft on the second Thursday of the month. Meetings start with a brief business discussion followed by members showing their latest projects. The final meeting segment is a demonstration or discussion of a technique or project of interest to the membership.

Membership is open to adults 18 and older. Annual awards are given for projects in five categories and Best of Show. Social events include family picnics and a year end dinner.
