Non Affiliated Clubs

The NAW provides its member clubs and guilds with significant benefits, including public and statutory liability insurance, the opportunity to host demonstrators toured by the NAW, and support for club governance and administration.
The NAW Committee decided to remove reference to non-member woodworking clubs as they pay nothing towards having a listing on this website, and the previous listing was not necessarily complete.
If clubs or guilds that are not NAW members wish to join the NAW they are welcome to do so.

Demonstrators

Demonstrators WT=Woodturning, WC-wood carving, OT= Ornamental turning, SC= Surface Coatings, FM=Furniture making, D=Decoration, T=Tools
