The Corridor Woodturners 

​of the Cedar Rapids / Marion Iowa metro area

is a local Chapter of the

American Association of Woodturners (​AAW).​

Corridor Woodturners meetings are held the 2nd Thursday of each month, starting at 6:30 PM, usually lasting about two hours.  We start with some announcements, buying raffle tickets, photographing your show-and-tell item (check out the galleries, above), then a demonstration of the topic of the month.  After a short break, we ask each person to discuss their show-and-tell item, marvel over the project-of-the-month items, and pick the raffle winners.  Guests are always welcome! 
Meetings are held at the Marion High School wood shop.
         (Maps to the high school are here and here.)

April 10 meeting

The April demonstration will be 

by Chris Navurskis, and he'll 

show us a turned book cover.  

A very non-typical wood turning

project, and a lot of fun to make.

This would make great gifts.

Project of the Month for April

The project of the month for 

the April 10 meeting is a 

lidded box.  This can be an

opportunity to use some of 

your smaller pieces lying in

your wood stash for a fun

project.
