Written By Dena Koehn

The Chicago Woodturners is a non-profit organization dedicated to woodturning education. Visitors are always welcome.

We meet on the second Thursday of each month at the Arlington Heights Senior Center, 1801 West Central Road, Arlington Heights, IL

The Chicago Woodturners is a Chapter of the American Association of Woodturners. We encourage our members to obtain membership in the national organization, although it is not mandatory. The AAW offers many benefits to our members and as well as a wealth of information on the topic of woodturning. Click on the image below to view the AAW Website.
