We are an organization of woodcrafters with skills ranging from beginner to master craftsmen.
Due to COVID restrictions, we are currently conducting our monthly meetings virtually via Zoom, at 10:00AM, on the 3rd Saturday of each month, January thru November.
Our members share woodworking tips, bring projects to show and tell, hear guest speakers, and see live woodworking demonstrations at every meeting. Our free library contains books on techniques, videos, and project plans.
The Guild’s Woodworking Education Center is located at the site of the old Maylene School building on Hwy 17 in Maylene, AL. The WEC is open Friday-Sunday for the membership and for visitors to drop by to see what we are all about.
