Northeastern Wisconsin Woodworkers Guild

Written By Dena Koehn

The Northeastern Wisconsin Woodworkers Guild was formed in May, 1982 to further education and fellowship for area amateur and professional woodworkers, to advance the collective interest of woodworking, to promote good will, and to gain recognition through shows.

Membership in the Northeastern Wisconsin Woodworkers Guild is open to all amateur and professional woodworkers, male and female, for whom wood as a craft material is of special interest.

Our members have a deep appreciation for woodworking, and love to meet others with the same penchant for making things. Aside from the camaraderie we enjoy, there are other benefits of membership. Let us outline a few.

  • Monthly Programs/Presentations

  • Bench Talk Monthly Newsletter

  • Member Discounts at Patron Sponsors

  • Huge Book/Media Library

Membership is on an annual basis. Prospective members are welcome to attend a meeting and meet fellow woodworkers.
