Welcome to the Waxhaw Woodturners, an AAW chartered club in the Charlotte NC area that promotes the art of woodturning. Many amazing and beautiful works of art as well as functional everyday items can be made from wood and other materials, and we are here to help local woodturners continue to improve and hone their skills. Here you will discover who we are and what we are all about. We hope that you will join us and learn more about the wonderful world of woodturning! Visitors are always welcome at our monthly meetings!
Creativity is not exclusive. It is at least partially learned by being exposed to great works of art.
The Waxhaw Woodturners have monthly meetings and woodturning demonstrations on the first Tuesday of each month* on the lower level of the McDowell Arts Center located at 123 E. McDowell St., Matthews NC. Social time begins at 6pm with the meeting and demonstration starting at 6:30pm. Visitors are always welcome!
*Due to our annual Member Appreciation Cookout in July and Christmas Party in December, no regular club meetings are held during these months. In August, our meetings are held in the Matthews Community Center, which is just across the street.

The Waxhaw Woodturners is proud to be a chapter of the American Association of Woodturners (AAW). The AAW, headquartered in Saint Paul, Minnesota, is dedicated to advancing the art and craft of woodturning worldwide by providing opportunities for education, information, and organization to those interested in turning wood. With more than 16,000 members and a network of over 365 local chapters globally representing professionals, amateurs, gallery owners, collectors, and wood/tool suppliers, the AAW provides inspiration, education, and information about woodturning tools, techniques, projects, safety, and more. Several of our members are also members of the AAW, and while not a requirement, it is very much encouraged as AAW members have access to the single largest collection of woodturning information anywhere in the world, including AAW’s award-winning journal, American Woodturner which is the foremost publication on the art and craft of woodturning in the world.
