We are a group of men and women that are enthusiastic hobby woodcrafters and are keen to share our love of wood and skills with anyone who wishes to join us.
We have been active since 1987 and, in any given year, we have between 80 and 100 members of all ages and skill levels. We have a purpose-built workshop located at 3 Cherokee Place, Mount Maunganui, Tauranga which is well-equipped with equipment and tools. Our Carving, Turning, Scroll Saw & Open Workshop Groups all meet each month. On the 3rd Saturday of every month, at 1.30pm, we have a general meeting when we welcome visitors and members to a demonstration along with refreshments. Our Guild Brochure defines meeting times, contact details and our annual fees. Men and women are encouraged to join us and share the joy of woodcrafting projects.
