Howard County Woodworkers Guild (HCWG)
The Guild is a collegial organization of like-minded and creative individuals, dedicated to sharing in the art of fine woodworking craft, nurturing newcomers, and giving back to our community.
Whether your interest is in turning, fine woodworking, carving, finishing, lumber, trees, or camaraderie, all of the above, or you’re not sure; our Guild is for you. Come to a meeting or two and get acquainted.
Our Guild does not buy or make anything for retail sale. We do not buy and sell used woodworking related items. We do provide a marketplace where buyers and sellers, or those seeking help, may post an ad for that purpose.
We offer with limited capacity educational opportunities provided by dedicated and skilled senior craftsmen and women (SME program & Classes). Our monthly meeting is highlighted by impressive show-n-tell reviews of finished projects, and a 60-90 minute skill presentation (Monthly Presentations Schedule).
Volunteers are the heartbeat…
Volunteers are the heartbeat of our Guild.
Do you realize that there are 50 defined volunteer roles that support our Guild activities and governance? And, that 16+ of the volunteer roles are open for interested members willing to provide a little bit of their time.
The Guild Webmaster has developed a new volunteer homepage on the website (HCWG.org) that summarizes all the volunteer roles that support the Guild’s myriad activities, as well as a listing of current open volunteer opportunities. A ‘Volunteer Openings‘ link has been added to the top of the homepage and you do not need to be logged in to access this functionality.
Pay a visit to the new Volunteer homepage and let us know of your interest in any of the roles. Your contribution will help support all of us.
