Our mission is to expand the knowledge, skills and abilities of our
members. The guild also strives to expand the local market for custom
made furniture and cabinets by promoting awareness of the value of
custom woodcrafting as well as the diversity and talents of our member
woodworkers.

The Helena Woodworkers' Guild was established in 2004. We hold
monthly meetings, participate in community projects and mount annual
exhibits of our members' finest handcrafted furniture. Guild members
take turns hosting meetings at their shops. Activities include
demonstrations of techniques and discussions of topics relevant to
woodworking as a budiness or hobby. Meetings also allow time to get to
know each other, network and share our skills and expertise with each
other.
We have all kinds of woodworkers in our group,
from
seasoned pros to folks who began woodworking when they retired
from a different career. We have large shops to corners of our
basements. Some of us do wood turning or carving; others specialize in
cabinetry; still others make one of a kind furniture. All of us have
grown in our abilities and confidence as members of the guild. If you
are a woodworker -- no matter what your skill level or experience -- we
welcome you to become a member of our guild. Beginners bring fresh
perspective and new talent to our group and can benefit from the
knowledge of our more experienced members.
