The Blue Ridge Woodturners is a chapter of the American Association of Woodturners serving the New River Valley & Greater Roanoke region of Southwestern Virginia. Basically we are a group of people with the common interest in (or addiction to) turning wood on the lathe.
We usually meet on the fourth Thursday of each month at the Fincastle Volunteer Fire Station in Fincastle, Virginia (for " Driving Directions".) We do, however, hold special events and some meetings at other locations in the area. Please check often for upcoming events and meetings.
