Welcome

to the Mid-Willamette Woodworkers Guild

Welcome

The Mid-Willamette Woodworker's Guild (MWWG) is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1982 by a group of professional woodworkers. It is now primarily people that enjoy woodworking for pleasure. The MWWG is a volunteer organization that is sustained by the efforts and contributions of its members and the generosity of its commercial supporters. The purpose of the guild is to help local woodworkers by promoting high standards of quality and craftsmanship that can serve their community. Guild members design and build custom pieces, including sculpture, marquetry, fine furniture and cabinetry. Through exhibitions and workshops, the Guild informs the local community about the skills of local craftspeople, and the materials and techniques required to create high quality work. Through meetings and seminars, members share and grow their skills. Many members provide their services to the community on a voluntary basis.

The guild encompasses skills from novice to master. An active interest in woodworking is the only equipment for membership. We meet monthly, usually in the shop of a member or at some local point of interest (such as an OSU Wood Lab or an artisan's shop) to share and improve our woodworking knowledge and skills. Members organize the monthly programs.

The MWWG hosts an Annual Exhibition of Fine Woodworking every April. For details or directions please see our Woodworking Show page. For more information on the Guild in general, please contact any of our officers.

We look forward to meeting you!
