The Peace River Woodturners were formed as a Chapter of the American Association of Woodturners in 2007 to serve the growing community of woodturners in Charlotte County, Florida.

For woodturners, nothing compares to the fascination of wood: the look, feel, smell, warmth, variety, and radiance of nature in all its glory. Exposing to the eye what is hidden behind the bark, and revealing what would otherwise be lost to the senses, becomes an creative addiction like no other.

The PRW holds monthly meetings year-round, showcasing Members turning creations, offer Member demonstrations and Professional Demonstrators seminars, and perform year-long service projects to assist the local community.
