Winter Woodturning Extravaganza

Woodturning, shaping beautiful and useful items from wood using a lathe, is an ancient craft. Archeological evidence shows that cultures all over the world used woodturning methods for bowls and utensils, furniture, and decorative items.

Today, woodturning enthusiasts with the Minn-Dak Woodturners Association are inviting the public to learn more about this fascinating and rewarding craft at the 2023 Winter Woodturning Extravaganza, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, January 14, at In the Chips, 303 21^st Street North, Moorhead, MN. This free event will feature several skilled turners demonstrating multiple projects and techniques, including tops, bowls, pens, goblets, vases, hollow forms, and spindles, and visitors can even get a bit of hands-on experience at a lathe. In addition, attendees can register to win some handcrafted items created by our members!
