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).
2022 Officer Election Results
The 2022 Officer Election introduced the use of a digital ballot, and the technical results were outstanding. More members were able to vote than would have been likely given the need for a virtual meeting.
Further, we were able to offer great write-ups by each candidate as part of the ballot experience. The were very few problems reported, and results were available immediately after the polls were closed during the monthly meeting.
Actual ballot counts are available to existing current members on written request. To request these results, please use to request them. Here are the election results.
