Woodturner's Guild of Ontario

for the advancement and promotion of the craft of woodturning

This Thursday is our next WGO General Meeting – the last one of 2024

As usual, it is our annual holiday party so don’t forget to bring a sampling of your favourite holiday treat (whether sweet or savoury) to share with fellow WGO members.

We’ll also be holding our annual Spin Top Contest! I sent the rules out a few weeks ago but they are here also. It’s not too late to turn a top or two and take your shot!

It wouldn’t be a WGO General Meeting without a demo, and this month we have two:
Michael Pinto will be demonstrating the ‘Art of Whistlemaking’ (see photo)
and Shawn Hermans will be making acorns.

Also, Charles St-Louis from Livos Canada will be in attendance – they sell a line of natural wood oils and wax – to tell us about their product line and how we, as Woodturners, can use them. He’ll have samples for everyone along with coupons for WGO members to use on their first purchase.
Here are links to their website Livos and YouTube channel @LivosCanada YouTube

For those of you who are unable to attend in person, we hope that you will be able to join via Zoom:

Brian Clifford's woodturning resources

This site was built by Brian Clifford over many years and features many articles, plans and videos that are of interest to novice and advanced woodturners alike. Brian has decided to retire and was going to allow the site to lapse; however, the WGO has agreed to host it on his behalf to ensure this great resource continues to be available.
