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.)

November 12 meeting demo

The demo at the November 12 meeting will be a discussion by Lyndal Anthony and Ray Hamilton on sharpening our lathe tools.  The difference between dull and sharp tools is like night and day.  Be sure to come and hear some of the finer points of tool sharpening.
