Show and Tell
Show and Tell is the part of the program where our members get to show off their work. They bring in turnings they have completed or are working on and discuss design, techniques, materials, finishing, etc. There is always something to learn at these sessions and you will be amazed and inspired by what our members make.

Giving back to the community projects
Beads of Courage lidded boxes to be donated to A.I. DuPont Childrens Hospital in February, 2017.
Through the Beads of Courage campaign, children receive a unique bead to represent each procedure or treatment. For example, a red bead for each blood transfusion, a yellow bead for each night in the hospital, a star bead for surgery, a white bead for chemotherapy. Their collection of beads becomes a tangible record of their journey. Each wood-turned box will be used to hold a sick child’s precious beads. In 2015 Keystone Woodturners donated a total of 35 Beads fo Courage wooden boxes. Our 2016 goal is 50 wooden boxes through December. These are two examples of our July donations
